New foil wing. W1250 (2400cm²)
The SAB website says
"compatible only with the new high strength fuselage F700-HS"
My understanding is that the new F700-HS fuselage uses larger M8 bolts. Does anyone know whether this fuselage is backwards compatible? I.e can I use my old W1100 wing on the F700-HS fuselage?

to avoid confusion
The f700hs fuselage has the M8 just for the front wing, it is 10mm shorter and the mast position is 25 mm forward compared to the fs 710, more the front wing base in the fuselage is 2mm wider
All the big wings: the w1250 (2380cm2) ,w1100 (2080cm2), w950 ( 1390cm2) w940 ( 1100cm2) w790 (1550cm2) and the incoming w799 balz pro have now bigger holes for screw to use the M8
All these wings (except the w1250 m8 ONLY) are now sold with 2 sets of screws:
- 3 x M6 with adapter in case you are using these wings with the FS710
- 3 x M8
This means that you can use the new w1250 on the fs 710 with M6 but if you break it we do not honor the warranty cause we say "compatible only with the new high strength fuselage F700-HS"
On the opposite, if you buy the new f700hs to use with your actual w1100 w873 w790 w720 w683 w679 w633 to add strength to the impacts due to bad landings or rotations , you can do it by simply drilling the actual 6mm holes on these wings with a 8mm drill bit and enlarge with a countersink bit to adapt the hole to the 8mm screw head
so
yes there is more then enough space to do that work
and, yes , this fuselage is backwards compatible with everything we sold in the past
foiling since 2008
