I tried out L wing and S stab last night and so far it's my favourite. I find the L + L is a bit too locked in while the L + S gives me more flowy carving.
Trimming the rear stab on the rear screw with a shim changes the angle of attack to push down the nose of the board. It's a nice trick to use if a new large wing format foil is mounted to an "older" foilboard and there isn't the space to move one's stance further forward on the board. Note that this works only when the rear stab is attached to the underside of the fuselage.paul s wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2019 10:39 pmCan someone confirm that to reduce lift you use the shim washer with rear bolt of the rear wing?
Does this work by creating more lift from the rear wing so increasing downward pressure on the front wing and reducing overall lift?
I couldn't see a simple explanation on the NP website but maybe i didn't look in the right place.
Thanks in advance
I prefer adding the washer to reduce a bit of lift from the L wing as my foil cant be moved back anymore in the track. A really fun foil giving that surfy feel. I use both the L and S stabilizers.
