Looks good, thanks for sharing your build, nice tools, looks like you are a craftsman!
Like the fridge pump and old gas bottle volume suck set up for vac sack!
Did you 45° some carbon on your Strut and fuse?
Just a few questions for myself and other DIYers.
How thick was bamboo core before layup, profiles shaped, and layers and weight of carbon used please.
F wing
R wing
Fuse
Strut
Board plate
What method did you use to seal vac sac? How much vacuum? Controller?
What brand and mark is your digi level and do you think it is sensitive and accurate enough (+,- .25°) as I search for a better one?
Just my thoughts.
8 mm hardware is over kill, 6 plenty.
Off set pattern F wing to fuse 4 hole attachment (thanks Alpine) very good!
Set up weight no problem, better more for strength than less with breakage. Later on once learned for sure lighter feels and flies better.
Board seems WAY to thin, have you tested its length wise flex WITHOUT the T bar of course by supporting the ends and standing on it?
And once again as I have said for years now....
A front foot hook is simply the SAFEST (other than strapless)
way to learn to fly (and into the future for many) by providing correct front foot placement and just enough board control for water start yet allowing painless crash escape!
