Can you share center to center of the mast screws? Wondering if I can use gong mast with it
I got my foil today, quality is really poor.
Surface is coarse and grainy to the point where both lift and drag will be affected.
Trailing edge is buckled
Mast is a symmetric âwindow shadeâ extrusion
It was cheap but this is outrageous. Weâll see how itâs handled by crazyfoil. This is not just a simple mistake or slip in quality control.
Donât buy these, ever. A chinese foil costs about the same and i wouldnât be happy with the quality of this wing even if it would cost 100USD.
Sorry to hear you up the creek without a paddle. Maybe you can still use the mast for a window shade?
Not necessarily an issue. Even if the foil manufacturing quality is obviously (very) poor, this airfoil section is one of the most suited for the air/water interface. Look at this one, it has a slight round leading edge on the left:
Ugh, iâve gotten one faulty motor and one faulty foil in just a week. Not ready to laugh at it, yet.
Yeah that super crap! I guess the only positive is that you didnât pay $6k for a waydoo and bend your mast fist time out!
Yes, this extrusion is not something i would be super concerned about normally, slightly higher drag. Itâll be easy to fit wires and i wonât feel like crying when cutting a hole in it. But how the hell can they ship out wings with this status? Itâs a bad joke to let people pay for them.
Also, i have a feeling that the aluminum might be the chewing gum type, after all itâs cheaper. thickness is not the only thing that matters.
Oh. These wings are injection molded. Seems material was way to wet during injection
Wow, that is truly ridiculous. Looks like the mast might be the only thing worth it. At $48 for the short one that seems reasonable. Should be easy to get the wires through not having a center support.
Use an iron and baking paper to align the end edge on the wing.
Iâm waiting for the reply from crazyfoil before doing anything - wonât fix their poor quality.
This was designed for a kitefoil use (). For an efoil one âŚ
The only thing I can think of is it was shipped directly from their manufacturer without them ever seeing it. Not an excuse⌠but I canât believe a company would ship something like this. With the speed of the internet, their reputation could be ruined in a few days.
StrangeâŚmy wings are not like yours
No there is no aluminum in the wingâŚ100% plastic
Wow, that is crazy. I will take a closer look at the trailing edge of mine, but all wings were smooth and no obvious defects like that.
The customer service was really good. The missing bolt arrives tomorrow along with a foilmount. In the next week or two I can test this thing out on one of my old surfboards before I finish getting the rest of my build together.
How did they respond to your quality issues?
Have you been able to ride yours yet? How is it holding up?
Yes, please do. Would love to print it have it ready to go.
Will get this measurement in 3 days for you.
Use an iron and baking paper to align the end edge on the wing.
Good tip! It will be difficult to create a straight edge, might be possible with a shape support on the other side of the wing.
