Thats really good! I'd love to see the internal design. Have you used a large thread from the mast mount to casing?

Or any other alternative for the Seaking 130A?

I have the Yep 120A. I haven't used it in the water yet, but it should be fine with sufficient cooling.

Was it quite cost effective or expensive?
Did you just glue the joint between the housing and the mast mount again?

Cheers

The V2 is looking fantastic! Did you do the machining and anodizing or did you get it done elsewhere?

Does anyone here have knowledge in what type of lubrication to use in the planetary gearbox like Neugart or Parker when using them with hight input rpm? Should the gearbox be filled with oil? Does anyone here have experience in laminate carbonfiber/epoxy onto PLA? I would like to 3d print the mast ...

i note on Ali express the rear foil is upside down on the sup foil ! i assure you folks that will not work, i own one of those rear foils and mounts and it isn't designed to work that way. i had a kite foil/wake foil rear and now have the identical (blue) windsurf version , all of which work the ot...

I'm still not sure which hydrofoil I should buy @Alibaba. Should I go for the SUP Foil (1) or the Kite Foil (4) ? I ordered the n°4, because it's the NF2 Wakefoil of Slingshot, so you can find a lot of videos with it, and I ordered differents sizes of mast to test the foil at the wakepark. I think ...

The Slingshot hoverglide mast and fuselage are a very good price. I have the mast and baseplate and will be getting the fuselage w hen its in stock But the Slingshot mart is not hollow, isn't it? It is, they just put 1cm of plastic into the hollow parts. I just drilled into the plastic, put a screw...

About the mast, I think that an aluminium hollow mast with a plate is the easier choice for a reasonable price, even for a personal wing setup. Could you tell me if you founded good links for that part (and maybe with a fuselage). I founded only filled aluminium masts. The Slingshot hoverglide mast...

Hi guys, Could you tell me what do you think about this ESC ? https://hobbyking.com/fr_fr/turnigy-aquastar-200a-watercooled-sensorless-esc.html?___store=fr_fr Best regards, Gege I'm taking a chance on the HK YEP120 Marine version. It's cheap and I wont be pulling more than 100A so it should be adeq...

What material did you print with?
What infill did you use?
How did you seal the 3D printed material?

I did say that it would

Ride that thing!!!! Looks fantastic!

Below seems like the right sort of gearbox spec to me - you never know with second hand parts of course. I have given it a go as only 60 Euro (accepted offer). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEUGART-PLE-40-i-8-PLANETENGETRIEBE-SERVOMOTOR-B-R-Bosch-Lenze-Gearbox-Getriebe-/332343178078?hash=item4d6132735e...

How much current did you pull with 8 cells?

The nylon sls surface is great to bond with epoxy and proper gluing technique. Not afraid :) more afraid of the aluminium Bonding Tested it today it worked great!!!

Going foiling (hopefully) tomorrow. We have never foiled before, so it will be interesting, but we have some experience with water sports, so I guess it will work out. Will start with the next version (V2), a 18650 battery pack and counter-rotating propellers (for fun) next week. Would be glad if s...

Howdy folks, As for the motor in the board... (this is the radical bit).... an eBike Hub motor used as a belt drive onto a smaller gear on the top of the drive shaft......... Sketch -eFoil.jpg SmokeThroughWires With a foil, the more weight you shift further from the foil makes it harder to control....

Frustration... I spent 2 and a half hours last night trying to fight my way through aluminium bar on a mini lathe in order to get my spacers done for the motor/gearbox. After that time I was left with almost the same aluminium bar! Time to find a large lathe or someone that can machine the parts for...

I belive the O-ring grooves should be machined in aluminium (not 3d printed) to ensure a good seal. The O-ring should be compressed about 30% to obtain a good seal, Cheers Have a look at the Parker O-Ring handbook. https://www.parker.com/literature/ORD%205700%20Parker_O-Ring_Handbook.pdf Probably p...

Did it work with O-rings and screws? I will make this on my next version, but I belive the O-ring grooves should be machined in aluminium (not 3d printed) to ensure a good seal. The O-ring should be compressed about 30% to obtain a good seal, see drawing below of tube edge and o-ring groove. Have d...

I want to urge all of those building to maybe do a waterproof test with the motor unit. I found that mine was not sealing properly and as a result it has potentially saved me a considerable amount of money! If water gets in and even if the motor doesn't go, your bearings will definitely corrode in b...

Hey, does anyone have a CAD model or the measurements of the SSS 56104 motor. Specifically the bolt pattern diameter. Mine is on order but I would like to get to work designing before it arrives. Foil: Slingshot Hoverglide NF2. I would like to switch to a Liquid Force hollow mast with an adapter pl...

Well done to all making great progress on this. Very impressive. (Winter project for me I hope) As an observer it seems to me the motor/prop creates a moment that isn't planned for in the foil design/position/angle. Especially during acceleration phase perhaps. As a result the weight of the rider s...
