I forgot to tell you a little bit about this build. I used a different build system here. On older builds, the esc box is mounted on the mast, and the blue ace remote control module is in the nose of the board. There is an additional connector for it. In the new assembly, the aluminum box is mounted on a metal plate, which is fixed from the bottom of the board. The mast is also attached to it. There is no forced cooling. There are also two Blue Ace modules in the box, for the camera and the phone. The antenna is placed in the nose of the board. The box is filled with oil for cooling and protection from moisture.
Yes, and the hatch is not airtight. Since the battery, the box with esc, the connectors are sealed! The water in the compartment has not yet reached the wing, it has come out and the water is poured through the holes where the mast is attached!
It would have been an amazing achievement to have a hatch as big as that waterproof with just 2 catches and 2 hinges.
Cheers

Nice build, Comrade.
Anatoly, bravo! Beautiful builds. I see you used vesc from Makerbase. Did you have any difficulties with him? I came across information on this forum that someone had difficulties with the firmware.
And the second question: do you use aluminum pipes as stringers in all your boards, as was the case in one of your first boards, or have you found some other solution to strengthen the board and secure the mast?
We have two boards with makerbase. One is working well so far. There were problems with the second unit right out of the box. There was no output of 5 volts and incorrect data transmission.I wrote them a complaint, no reply, no greetings. I had to replace it with flipsky. Fastening of the mast to the aluminum spars in three boards. And in the last black one, a thick plywood structure is glued in. And through it, with the help of homemade nuts made of a square bar of bronze, the mast is attached.
As the board repairman told me.Fixing the mast to the board breaks even on branded Efoil. Ideally, at the place where the mast is attached, it is necessary to connect the lower deck with the upper one!
And the last black board is just a shell made on the matrix? Or is there a core made of XPS? It’s not entirely clear from the photo.
It is CNC-machined from XPS.
