Thats looking great! How many layers / weight of fibreglass did you go with?

Wind tunnel option in Fusion? No, I don't know about it, I didn't think Fusion does CFD.

Fusion file for? That wing is made a fit a Tarroa Sword 2 Fuse.

Hi, I am following this thread with a great interests. Lots of great info, thank you! I just got into foiling myself (on slingshot hover glide nf2) and thinking that at some point I might end up printing a different foil that would fit into slingshot fuselage. Did anyone consider 3d printing a foil...

I use a 95cm or 100cm long, thin board for all my foils (Wave, freeride and race). So I wouldn't worry too much about the board (A bit of nose rocker is nice though). But if you are used to much larger wings, then it might take a session or so to get used to the the higher take-off speed needed. It ...

good tip, balsa is available in Germany ebay, in many thickness, need to be glued starting from 100cmx10cm, yet reasonable . only point .... not cheap ... Lightweight plywood / Balsa plywood is another option that looks very suitable. It is quite widely available since it gets used for caravan buil...

Hi Robke, I think the below freeride wing looks pretty good. 750 mm wingspan, 750 cm^2 area (It is just a touch larger than the theoretical minimum zone, but going down to 600-675 cm^2 only has a very small advantage). Recommended profile is the S2055. Make it in Polished aluminium would look aweso...

Lightweight plywood / Balsa plywood is another option that looks very suitable. It is quite widely available since it gets used for caravan building. 9 / 15 / 18 / 25 mm thickness options (in Australia). And comes in at a reasonable density of around 250 Kg/m^3. I haven't made a board from it myself...

And you still need to find a way to connect the pieces together structurally. And then fill and smooth out the gaps etc, that there will inevitably be between the pieces...

Quite a challenge to do without laminating / moulding

For the smaller sizes, trapped air volume is likely less important because it has a relatively much smaller volume. For example, going from a 6m to a 15m, means area has gone up by factor of 2.5, but volume has gone up by factor of almpst 4. Small kites are also heavier per square meter compared to ...

Nice result! I know what you mean by it being shocking, pulling the wing out of the mould and going this is basically as good as finished.
