As Med sea beaches may not be open until end May and maybe even end June, cut Home made STRUT,12 mm thick, to 70 cm for etangs, ponds in English as some are waist deep.
Found SUPER stiff, even at only 11 mm STRUT Shaped from aerospace carbon shoot and cut to 78 cm providing in between length choice.
Still most pleased with KETOS Race profile STRUT, I could never make one that quality!
They are all being wet sanded and LEs and TEs made as good as I can.
Needs testing to see how much velcro strength needed to hold for missed jump receptions but will give way in extreme stress to avoind injury.
150x50x5 board modded to accept alu fuse and 1,500 F wing for ultralite wind. Fore and aft Foot hooks to hold in water start position
as board has volume and foil assembly HEAVY!
Also will be tested for new speed wing set up as will accept all STRUTS.
Front foot hook only board for Strong TRAM and the seldom waves we have.
Strapless board will be used the most sure.
All boards 100% carbon vac sacked, painted day glow yellow for obvious reasons.
Stock KETOS fuse a work of art and when WAVE XL F wing paired with XS stab much fun to be had! Race profile STRUT as well!
Have strong feeling this will be most flown configuration.
As much as I enjoy building KBHFs I will never be able to compete with a company with SO MANY years of carbon fiber composite construction!
The glide on the ride is evident!
I look forward to new to me "speed wing" far right as do enjoy a fast session when conditions allow, may need to make smaller thinner race stab.
Should be BIG fun testing and tuning all my reworked flying toys.
Just need the gov to set us free!
