Re: Monofoil or "riding stabless", setup and riding

@ Denisesewa
Thank you for sharing your experiments outcomes.
I am especially interested in your opinion about foil reflex.
As a monofoil rider you are a supercomputer!!!
Keep in mind that CoG is 2m above monofoil, so the setup is highly unstable in many ways and you are good enough to control pitch, direction, hight both for monofoil and for kite in changing wind speed/direction and waves.
There is no computer powerfull enough to do that until now. Not to mention to built a new monofoil wing!!! Planes are usually more/less selfstable so it is easier to control them by computers.
@ Horst Sergio
Your roll tacks looks as they are really simple and easy. You’ve done 1000 of them untill now or more?
At 18 second of your movie there is a nice and strong tip vortex filled with air.
I will try some pumping towed behind a boat when my lake unfreezes.
What setup do you have in mind here -„freerace setup with a more symetrical wing with less camber and less cord does have this behaviour much less than the low AR higher cambered wing” What foil you use in this setup?
