Thanks guys
very kind of you to say so.
Revhed. i shaped a concave on underside towards the trailing edge, basically shaping a hydro profile. i called it a AvagobyI2 profile which works very well indeed
I have made some modifications or more like additions to the fusela ge. i added some biax between the rear wing and strut position, to reduce a little twist then wrapped it.
I also thought id have a crack at making a board. I wanted one shorter and lighter than the surf board i converted.

After much work and expense i was happy with my results for a first attempt and she works really well. After just over a year of work, lots of carbon dust and time away from family, consantly striving for improvements and watching my buddies flying around on Spotz2s i needed to give it a break.
After much consideration even with the principle, i plumbed to go for a spotz 3. which meant i needed to make a new board
ill get back on a new model this year and speed is the name of the game this time
Sorry for being off topic but this is my attempt at a tuttle board, it still in one piece
Back on Topic
I also bonded across the fin join a stainless nut and bolt to add a bit extra strength you can just about see it at the bottom of the joint surface
using fins is quick and especially if you have some kicking around from your old windsurf days etc cheap way of making wings.
Any more questions please just ask
Thanks again
