Damn you have access to a nice CNC!!! I wish I could find something that near me.

Yes it is a wonderful machine (Okuma MCR B2) has most stuff but no continous 5axis head and only tiltable in 1degree intervalls.

I’d watch the heat of the ESC being in such close proximity to the batteries.

my plan was just to have it on top of the batteries but i think i have space to put some kind of plate in between or maybe having it lying on the side in front of the batteries.

Starting to look like something  
It will be kind of long because of my propeller axle with 3 bearings.

The slowest build on the site moved a bit forward  
Here is a air test

And my board:

It is a Tacuma 140L surfsup with a oroginal foil mount, iknow it is a bit big but my plan is to go slow with a short mast so i think it will work?

My charging station…

A dry test, seems good. Need to give alot of throttle before it begins to spin after that i can reduce it and drive on really low rpm, is that normal?

I have the ESCs amp output on minimum, does that only lower the horsepower or do it affect Rpm too?

Did the first real test today, my deadmanbreaker is a piece of crap so had to have my hand to push it in all the time, and the battery box had no mounting system so i was lying over it to hold it in place… Still managed to do a couple of seconds foiling, think this could be addicting 😃  
Only needed about half throttle to start climbing 12s 10000mah.  
Didn’t burn my 60amp breaker 👍  
Is it safe to run 2x6s 10000mah 25c battery? If i stop riding at 3.5volt? Need a bigger battery box if i want to use all four batteries…

Had a problem that it shuttered (turned on off every second) when i was giving it full throttle from standstill  
If i pushed it slowly i could climb to full throttle without problem…  
500ss motor and flier 400esc 0degree timing  
Any thoughts?

</div>

i had the problem with the flier 400a esc and sss56114 that it lost synchronization under load and shuttered, stopped spinning. i have changed the timing from 0° to 5°. It’s going well.

I heard once, motor pole count x 2 = timing.

Okay i will try to rise the timing 👍

Worst video on the site? Probably! But if you watch closely you can see some lift 😛

Made a mounting system that fits in the windmast slot.

Just some more pictures, longest fuselage on this site?  
Thought it would be more stable that way?  
New testrun on saturday!

Starting to learn foiling on my knees  
But my 85kg friend is not able to fly, my maytech remote show only 9500rpm on the motor and it is almost same in water/ on land  
Should be alot higher with 12s and 500kv motor?  
And i have 1/8 transmission so if the rpm is 9500 it would be like 1200rpm on the propeller and i think i wouldn’t be able to foil then? 70kg of weight. Flier 400esc
