Hey,
I’ve taken some delay on the building of my eFoil so I decided to start another build in parallel. A much easier one but with a lot of uncertainty. I’m going for a Tow build, @Jatem 's style.
For the electronics:
- remote : maytech v2
- battery : NESE modules and I’ll put some 21700 cells. 14S8P.
- ESC is a Maker X HI200/HV200
- Batterie BOX : Pelican 1470
- Motor : Flipsky 65161 120kv
For the mast, I’ve bought a cheap gong 55cm mast that I will chop to 20/30 cms (TBD).
Quick 3D custom motor mount prints. I’ll keep the mast base to attach the motor to the board.
I plan to use US BOX rails so I can move the mast on the board (more to the front or to the back) as I decided to simplify and put the motor just after the mast. I’ll likely use some risers to have the motor slightly a bit nose down (to lock the board on the water). My plan is to start by having the propeller at the vertical of the rear of the board to have a good weight balance.
Now the challenge is the board design. I plan to go composites (carbon/gf) like my dock start board but with a more “yatch” look on the front. I’m still wondering how to attach the bungie cord and which one to get. Some ideas I’m thinking about.
Any insights ?!
