I am slowly working on jet drive since efoil would potentially be used also by my son and grandson. First I wanted to go with JetWave motor and impeller like Kian, but like he wrote, JetWave would only sell to those parts to those who already own the whole board. Fortunately Aerofoils sells impeller replacement kit without such constraints. I tried to obtain 65161 motor with 220 or higher kV, and couldn’t get one. So I bought LMT30100 motor and proceeded designing waterproof housing for it. Now I have to decide between two versions, one with original Gong fuselage and another shaped like Aerofoils, JetWave and others that have wing in front of the motor. I really heve no idea which one is better from practical point of wiev, so i am looking for some advice.
My opinion for what it’s worth😀
There may be some benefit from mounting motor inline with front foil (like Fliteboard) but that drives a complexity in the build as you then have to create a fuse that “bends” below the motor.
To me a lot simpler and less expensive to buy stock Gong mast-fuse setup. Lots of efoils built this way and they perform well.
