If phone battery life and/or display visibility are issues, one option may be to turn the phone screen off and stream the data to a watch for display?

I'll run them all on the original kitefuselage with the original stab. The larger wings are modded to fit the fuselage.

Just out of interest, what is the mod? Often wondered what the difference between the two fuselages is?

norcom, thanks for the input. If I were to print the part I showed above I would probably print in this orientation: insert vertical 9mm v1.png As you point out this should make a cleaner slot/hole as no support material is required. Also, the height and top part (that inserts into the bar) could be...

I can print PLA, PETG, ABS. Have never tried nylon. Happy to send you the stl. Have sent you a PM send me the stl and I will try printing it in ABS :D PM me an email address and I will. But Note: This it not a properly thought out design. It is only a part that I threw together to visualise a remov...

So far works well, sl...

And how would you replace the centre insert? To be fair, buy a SmoothOn PU kit and go wild with a mold. Way more industrial. And 2 part silicone for a mold. All this about AU$50. Do you think a PU part would be hard enough? I realise a printed part wouldn't be very hard but it'll be easy to knock o...

I’m thinking about printing bar center inserts (for power lines to run through) for carbon bars.
Has anybody been doing this? If so, is it a worthwhile and is there a preferred material?
I’m expecting wear to be an issue, so would make something that is easily replaceable.
