Efoil V3 - STL files for Gong foil and Flipsky motor 12mm - Parts list - Schematics

ok, the XL explaines the low current rating.

Gong doesn’t stock any xl wing anymore I have been looking for it for a while now

with the curve I don’t no exactly the speed for the take off (I will look at my GPS for the next ride) I think 13/14 km/h and Vmax 25km/h after there is a whistling certainly due to stab, and I don’t like the noise when I ride.
Never test L or M gong curve but I ride with a ketos foil with cruiser / wave XL and fr2
and the XXL curve start really earlier. But I tried it on a kitefoil, and it’s not very fun “pleasant”
it’s too big.
V1 more power but more noise, and more complicated for construction.
if i build a new one it will be with an engine like the flypsky

I check my GPS for my last ride yesterday, lower speed 11 km/H

Could you share current pick to go on the wing in this config and yours weight? Your board still 24kg?

If I analyse correctly, the 20+% amp gain comes from a more triangular prop blade shape:

=> the gain 23A to 18A comes : new prop diam 132mm old 125mm
and i sanding the trailing edge (more sharp). I don’t think the shape improved
efficiency. Because I tried to do the same :slight_smile: but you’re right it’s not realy the same
it’s more triangular but it’s exactly the same blade.
On the first propeller I had done a “dirty job” :slight_smile: , I had a slightly different blade
look on the picture of the lower blade

and also I sanded the cone at the base of the blades

I look forward to receiving the aluminum propeller from FR to compare the efficiency and install the swirlcone from cim96dm7

@jeffM did you ever have to widen the hole in the back mast clamp? I have 3 8awg wires that I am trying to fit through this back mast clamp from the flipsky motor and it seems to be too tight of a fit.

No I didn’t need to widen the hole
it’s tight but it works with 3 8awg cables
I got the stl from the forum
if i remember correctly it was robert’s creation @nice2cu
he can answer if he reads this post

Hi, which one you are using?

I am using the flipsky 65161/gong mast mount. My motor has these connectors on the end that are the issue, were these connectors on your flipsky motors?

:rofl::rofl::rofl: sorry but you must cut off the plugs.
You will also not have luck when you want to thread through the mast :wink:

Figured so! I was lucky to get one of the plugs through :joy: Thanks for the advice :call_me_hand:

That is for the sceptics :wink:

not understand

Today, with my new battery 1H10.
And there were still some.



I tested the spinner, but failed (with an other prop, because I can’t install it on my alu prop)
I need nore than 60A for the take off and 35/40 amp for ride

After this nice ride => kite foil for 2 hours

Robert, it was just to show the consumption at 16A during the session.

Looks like an excellent spot to efoil and kite! That is my perfect day, efoil until the wind comes up and hop on the kite!

To save a little space in my VESC box, I modify the cooling circuit
with a U on the inlets and I realized that one of the outlets was blocked by the sealing resin of the thread :frowning:
Therefore disassembly of the 4 connectors, cleaning the circuit, and reassembly with Teflon. Everything works fine now. So check your Vesc


I also tested a session without the pump, but it doesn’t work, the pressure is not powerful enough to cool without the help of a pump, shame !!

I am shaping a new board in 125 * 58 * 10, so that it fit in the pick up without having to disassemble anything :slight_smile:

Now that looks like a good hatch!
What brand is it? do you have a link to it?

Nice build by the way!.. and… is / was that a maytech receiver?

Too bad even if this solution is working for many DiYers.
Are you sure the nose inlet is clear of debris and that you don’t have a right angles in the hose between the pod and the ESC ? The pressure hates right angles or a pinched hose. I remember a guy without pump here who has the hose outlet under one of his feet to sense the warm water and detect if sthg is going wrong.
