Looks nice, but is not the profile used in the plans
Is it a test? Looks very lightweight!

Different application though.

Lightweight and foiling does not fit very well. Looks like a D-Box from a RC modell glider. The vertical spar should be more massive because most of the force will be going into this part.
The wing itself is so small that chasing weight in this, does not make much sense. Better look into reduction of torsion in the mast.

The picture show no reference of size, so it is really guessing.
Nevertheless for an RC glider the wall thickness looks too thick.
Indeed a foil does not have to be lightweight
Downunder makes me curious...

Sorry,
forgotten about this thread
Yep, getting there!
Different than the plans, coz it's a quick mockup! Spent a few hrs making this wing, and just a few weekends before my foil (or no foil) trip to here:

Nice wing!
Curious about the rest of the foil.
Nice carbon work!
