One thing i will need help with is the connection angle: can someone with axis ”black advanced” fuse setup measure the angle of the fuse connection for me?
I think taking a measurement (with the mast in vertical / fuse in horisontal) of the angle on the bottom side of the wing will work, this area is flat enough to put a straight edge on and get a reference. (see pic)
Looking at the photos on the Axis site the fuse is quite artistic in design but if you look past all the curves it appears that the bottom of the foil attachment area is at right angles to the mast.
If true that would make fabricating the Gong slide on tube adapter fairly straightforward. Even if the angle was off a few degrees from neutral AOA you could just modify your stance on the board to compensate.
My goal with this is to be able to use it for long term so it really should be correct within 1 degree or so. I really hope someone with this wing and/or the ”black advanced” fuselage can take a measurement!
For the last fit I’v used baking grease (mold release) and plastic film on the wing, added silica thickened epoxy and fixed the adapter in place at the right angle and left to harden. Got great result.
Why not get a second hand axis fuse, you can get them for a decent price of Facebook and that would open up a huge amount of extra possibilities foil-wise…
