OK, my mistake. Sorry
No problem, hard to see…
Bigger update. A lot of glassing the last weeks. 5 layers 160g/m2 on each side. Last layer with coloured epoxy, topcoat also coloured. Then some stickers and some topcoat over it.
Five layers!? I hope you’re planning to do some icebreaking with it
Too much? I like it robust
What did the hull empty weigh finally. Looks really well done.
It´s 8.2kg. Die wooden box takes a big portion of it with 3.2kg. Another ~500g I had to add because during the last glassing round the vacuum compressed the top of the board too much. It was deformed and I had to fill up around 9mm!!! in the middle. I made it easy and took a lot of epoxi and glas instead of starting again with XPS.
So, no lightweight but as I wrote above: 2kg less or more when I with 86kg stand on it, I don´t care.
V3 board will become lighter…
Thats not that bad considering my fliteboard carbon classic pro is 9kg.
Why wood instead of Airex?! The weight would have been greatly reduced.
In any case, a fine piece of work.
Because of missing experience…
Thanks
ok, the surface is very simply worked by gluing the different parts together with epoxy resin + microballoon before laying either fiberglass or carbon fiber in the same way as you did for your board. Nothing too complicated.
1st time in water to see if everything is tight. Check
Sealing for mastplate as on board V1 molded with Wagnerseal
Last step now building the battery packs:4x 8S6P to get 2x 16S6P
As Molicel P42 was sold out, I took Samsung INR21700-50S 5000mAh - 35A
Today maiden flight with nice sunny weather
Love it
Harder to start, but foiling much more dynamic.
Worth every hour of work the last weeks
Old 1.73m board vs new 1.2m board
Last step now:
finish the second battery pack for double-fun
Board got a bigger sister for beginner foilers like my wife: 145x70x12cm, 86liters vs 120x60x12cm, 61 liters
