Fantastic job you are doing and thanks for taking the time to share with everyone.
Your original 23A prop I think you called it. What RPM where you spinning it at. With the 5” pitch I am looking to spin mine around 4000 RPM to start off with.
Hi, @Fabien_n the mast clamp I’ve got works the same way as FR’s one and needs to be machined out of aluminum, I’m not sore it will be of much use to you? Printing it will not be strong enough unless you modify it a lot.
I print it hollow.
I used 3 or 4 layers for the border.
After I drilled on the layers that looking together when you mount it on the mast some holes and filled the clamps with Epoxy mixed with bits of glass.
Because I want it nice and more stable, I laminated it with one layer CFK.
Encore merci, tu imprimes comme cela (avec support ou non?) 0.16mm 100% remplissage? Je pars sur du PETG. Sinon je vais utiliser du water cooling mais sans pompe, tu penses que ton design fonctionnera?
I printed with 100% in ASA . this design work only with a water pump
if you want to use it without pump, you need to move the hole on the front of the nose
Do you know if the ready to print STL is available somewhere with the hole in front of the nose?
Keep it up.
Last but not least, which foil would you advise? I’m still hesitating with Gong but they are cheap, which one would you go for ? Allvator v2 L? (I’m 1m78 / 72kg) or more a HA one ? I wish I could use my existing kitefoil (but it’s a 1200cm gravity fone / kite) or my wing foil (AFS, but the mast is so far WAY to expensive and full carbon)
