There should be a material list on this thread somewhere
I find it thanks, but I’m not sure it’s updated.
What did you choose in the end for the propeller?
If anyone is selling one in so cal please let me know!
Manta foils has props in stock now. Just bought one for my build. I’m using a combo of valhalla and jatem’s builds.
Always a pleasure to discover the latest news.
This ring under the board bottom must generate some drag.
To keep the benefit of the line below the water line without the drag, a triangle-shaped fin (NACA cross section) could be used.
I’ve tried experimenting with different shapes. Not much benefit in efficiency but depending on shape of the section what direction the board turns to naturally. Issues I’ve is with making a more triangular section was strength of the piece. It would always fail at the front where there is the least material. I have an idea in mind but the tow boogie is taking a back seat as the wind season picks up.
Thanks for all the great info here.
Has anyone worked on remote control steering (other than wave escort)? I understand you use body weight / pull to steer in general, but it would be nice to have some steering to at least get the board going in the right direction after you let go and catch a swell. Obviously the return to foiler would be ideal, but having some basic steering would be a nice first step.
Also after a couple years in the water, anyone have an opinion on the ideal length / width of the board?
I tried it, but position of rudder was not good. steering was soso. if it would be right behind the prop should work fine. As I do not like towing so much a did not work further on this one.

Great project, thanks for sharing. What exact prop is it that you are using from Flying Rodeo?
Thanks
Can anyone tell me what the proper connector is for the vesc are? I’ve tried a few different types but struck out on all of them.
Thanks
You need to be more specific. And probably have more luck with starting a separate thread. Which ESC? And which contact on it?
The vesc is a Trampa 75/300 and with the maytech remote and receiver. I’m struggling to find a proper connector for the two circled in black. Normal rc connector doesn’t fit.
These connections have been discussed earlier in this thread:
Looks like JST PH 2mm to me
We really should encourage vendors to swap to GH standard.
Hi I have just joined my two to 6s 12000 mah and went on vesc change. I loaded in 12s 24000 mah on the motor settings but the motor finished its settings but doesn’t work when I go back to main settings.
I reloaded my motor settings and saw that it had changed it back to 6s 24000mah.
I tried 3 times and in the end loaded 6s 12000mah and the motor works.
Can anyone help? I’m thinking it should be 12s settings.
Cheers
Depends on how you joined them, in series or in parallel? Sounds like they are joined in parallel, then a voltage set for 12s will cause undervoltage protection by the vesc
Just a note, there isn’t any need to input Ah numbers into vesc. Where did you do that?
Hi I joined the two into one xt90 connection so I quess parallel.I added the Ah in the next coloum under the 6s.
So if I go back and enter 12s and not touch the Ah coloum will it work?thanks
Assuming you connected the two 6S in PARALLEL you still have 6S but double the Ah
If you want 12S you have to connect them in SERIES so double the V but Ah stays the same.
The Vesc has to match the actual V of the battery.
Awesome thanks for the help,got up on foil now so sweet.Just have to work on my vesc getting to hot.
