Hey guys,
Thanks for the kudos and tips.
This is a slingshot NF2 kitefoil. I can ride it with my kite and behind a boat without any trouble (although you do indeed have to pay constant attention or surprise stall, and I can't jibe yet). I'm 165lbs and start to foil at slow speeds below 10 knots...
Here is a video of me trying to ride my E-foil. Warning: it may be a little demoralizing. The prop I used was designed for 14 knots at max RPM.

Hi All,
I had some success this weekend with my build. I was ripping around the bay for about 25 minutes and used up about half of my 12S 16Ah pack. I found it quite a bit harder to ride while trying to maintain throttle and balance, with all the force coming from the bottom of the mast. I...
Have a look at the Parker O-Ring handbook. https://www.parker.com/literature/ORD%205700%20Parker_O-Ring_Handbook.pdf
Probably page 4-5 is what you are looking for.
I'm using 3X Dash 226 on my next design.
I'm just looking for someone to machine the aluminum for me..
Clarin, I bought the 500kV SSS56104. Given that pacific meister succeeded with a 500kV SSS, 7:1 gearbox and 10S battery. I wish we had more data than someone's youtube video..
3.7V/S * 10S * 500RPM/V * 1/7 = 2643RPM
Using 12S with a 8:1 gear ratio should be safe at 2775RPM.
My previous...
I don't have much data. Just that a motor would blow up after ~5 minutes with a 3 blade 160mm prop and ~15 minutes with a 3 blade 130mm prop. The motor was sitting in a sealed can with air inside, so cooling was out the metal mount and through the air to the aluminum enclosure. After you took...
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.
I've taken a crack at this already with a propulsion system based on the BPhobbies Cheetah A5330-9...
