Gong V3 DIY Build

The issue with this is the battery will be enabled before the leads are plugged in so it will spark when connected?

Correct, but i plug the cables into the battery before putting it in the right place.

Board looks great. I am sure you will love the lower volume.
What do you expect the total weight to be (incl electronics, mast, battery etc).

So this will stay the same i guess, maybe I will manage to come under 23kg but not much less. Thats sadly my assumption because the PCCF insert was simplified thus heavier in this case and also one more layer of carbon fibre.

Cool. Sounds good, that is very low!
Very curious about the final look.
Next step is going to be a smaller wing, a Curve XXL is VERY big.
Im riiding a Curve V2 M (1000cm²), and my next foil which is 650cm² is on its way.

You can go much smaller with efoils, and if your board is light (like yours), you will have no issues with smaller foils. Also, for your purpose, of riding it in the sea, you will love a smaller wing and a folding prop (if there are enough waves)

Sooo which foldable is the best for 65220? :smiley: Flipsky has one for 50euros?

At that price its definitely worth a try. Unfortunately, there arent many other options.
Not sure if a Waydoo would fit? There previous flyers were 12mm, not sure about the evo.

I’ve also found this one:

@HOF i was going to suggest @Flying_Rodeo, but i could not find their website on google. Maybe they’ve closed down the shop? I have one of their folding props on one of my efoil masts with a 65161 motor.
You might also try finding a Lift folding prop and modifying it to fit the 65220. You seem to have a good workshop so maybe you can get it to work.

No he never, he had a kid and didn’t have the time anymore so sold the company. I’m just not sure who actually bought it.

Second battery is done, this time I used P50B and I can tell there is no difference in 14s5p pack vs the 50S - except the price :open_mouth: Both provide around 50minutes of ride time.

Some pictures from the second board in process and over-weekend testings:

Whoah. You have the original flying rodeo board / mast. Cool! Don’t see those very often.
