This is my second build after the shitshow my 36 kg, leaky, wobbly and sharp first build ↓↓↓
Its 160 x 70 x 18
Flipsky 65161
Makerx g300
Gong x-over xl v2 75cm
Amorge power 40t 14s 24ah battery
VX5 remote
Flite prop
Shaped with a wood saw and a hot wire cutter
Sanded rails down
Glassed hatch in first used super 77 contact adhesive to make the corners sharp
Poored moldstar 30 for the seal
Used carbon fiber reinforced plywood as a sort of half stringer to reinforce the foil box area and distribute the load, board has 380gsm carbon on top and 200 gsm carbon fiber kevlar on the bottom.
Board weight ended up being 30 kgs which im not happy with but at least it is lighter than my last build
10.5 kg for board and hatch (2.2 kg)
10.5 for battery, esc and heatsink connectors etc
6 kg for mast and motor
3kg for wing
Dual hatch design for redundancy as i didn’t trust the mast seal and plan on removing the mast every time i use it.
It Has an on off switch and a charge port inside the round hatch so i don’t have to constantly open the main hatch which is 100% waterproof.
The mast is mounted with M8 screws threaded into 8 mm of aluminum plate. It’s waterproofed with M8 rubber washers and a custom Moldstar seal. The washers are being over compressed and are currently leaking, so that’s still a work in progress.
After my fourth ride im up to 15.5 km on my battery which i think is great considering my 110kg and high board weight.
There’s room for a second battery which im waiting on although probably wont use it much and am thinking about rebuilding my shitty old build into a fliteboard fakeboard and useing the old parts.
Technically it’s not quite finished yet. I still need to do a final sand and add thermal paste between the VESC and the heatsink.
