Nice, do you use dual motors?
I was planning on trying trimtab to reduce torque roll. I added side fins and it helped but with wind and a strong turn it still wants to lift/flip.
Do you feel like a small tab like this could help?
Hi
Been using the 50s for 2 years
I have two 12s6p, works great for high speed efoil
I am testing a 12s3p and 8s4p it needs a good prop motor combo for an assist but it works !
My 8s are only balanced during charging and 12s have a 100a BMS
You can find it on Aliexpress by the keyword “Polycaprolactone”.
Yes, it is a dual motor board, but I am planning to go back to a single motor in the near future because I have an old board and a couple of unused 65161 motors . I will let you know when I have some information.
Is the epoxy black or clear?
The color is different, the epoxy is black. I bought the first motor right after it came out. They must have changed the epoxy brand later.
I modeled and printed from PA12 analogs of the connectors that I use now. I will test them and if it turns out that they work, I will post them for public access.

Printed an adapter for LIFT from PPA-CF. When I tested the prototype, I was able to start on this board without any difficulties.
But on the final version, I was not able to start on Armstrong 40l. So, the cutout for the foil assist works and significantly reduces resistance.
Interesting to see a printed Axis to Lift adapter. Have you used printed adapters like this previously? Is it strong enough to last?
I used this adapter before. I can’t say anything about durability, I only rode it three or four times. I’ll post a photo of the new adapter later.

I had a problem with one of my first batteries. I didn’t close the lid with the balancing wires tightly, water got inside and here’s the result. Removing the silicone and working with the balancing wires, which are under voltage, is not very pleasant. However, it’s almost over.

Here is a photo of the adapter. The threaded part of the fusible inserts is only 10 millimeters deep and I realize that there is a risk of losing the fuselage. So at the moment I consider this solution as temporary. If I am satisfied with the overall performance, I will milled from aluminum

Yes, it occurred to me that a failure might mean losing a nice Lift wing. Still, interesting to see. Thank you for sharing
Here’s another contender to end its life on the seabed. I’ve already sunk one stabilizer. Was it worth it? I’m not sure, but the fuselage is interesting )
Quick and dirty battery will turn into a beautiful swan after I put it in heat shrink tube. Well, I hope so )
