What foils do people use and why?
we ended up using the NOBILE system, but mainly because they had a sale at kingoffwatersports,com In our opinion The Nobile foil is not ideal, as it does not generate sufficient lift for E-foil. We ended up machining several different front wings to make it better. In the setup we use now we have a plywood front wing.
seen quite a few NOBILE based E-foil system being made as of now. But that might be because of our V1 plans:P
Heard and seen that many people 3D print and laminate their hydrofoils, but not yet seen 3D foils in use? I have several hydrofoil designs if anyone is interested in testing them, I can send filesđ
Iâm in the process of building my own, wanted an excuse to work with some carbon fiber again. The first one Iâm building is using a shaped cedar core that is wraped with carbon. If this one doesnât work well I can make multiple interchangeable wings to perfect the lift.
We are building one to work with excisting levitaz foild going to run with the cruiser wing molding this in carbon getting a custom 50kv engine for direct drive see how that will work out
Duct/propp from @Hiorth but will give the mercury propp a go in there too
I using a Ketos FR2 XL, itâs a windsurf wings so itâs big and stable the lift is smooth, I using the same mast Nobile, very easy to pass the 9awg wire but thatâs the only one I had in aluminium
Fuselage : homemade in aluminium
thanks so much for sharing.
I am realy interested in the two builds with the Crazyfoil. It seems like a modestly priced foil that allows for adjustments without the cost of replacing the higher end foils or time that would be needed to make and remake your own foils.
Please keep us informed of your progress and share your thoughts about this foil.
Hi
All works fine with the motor since 2 months (itâs a old picture)
no modification on the foil juste on the board.
Lipo and ESC integration, and coating removing
Hi Vincent, Did you try your proto with the CrazyFoilâŚ? Here, in Canada, itâs getting really cold. Iâve been trying it on a lake 2 weeks ago. Did not have time to get a windsurf board modified and I tried with a old âshortâ surfing board⌠not enough buoyancy⌠was not hable to reach the lift speed (20 kphâŚ)⌠Will need to wait 6 months an work on my model⌠what about you?
NickBee and Vincentbraillard, Iâm also interested in your results of the crazy foil. Which setup did you order?
FYI, for others, here is the link to the info on the characteristics of each model, great info! https://crazyfoil.com/about-the-crazy-foil
hello @blocoloco, I do own a f-one alu mast but havenât drilled it.
My mast has a fitting for a deep KF-Box and this fitting seems to be epoxied into the mast and I havenât tried to remove it.
Altogehter I think there are masts and combos that are better suited for e-foiling that the f-one one.
If there are other experiences I would be interested as well.
In our opinion The Nobile foil is not ideal, as it does not generate sufficient lift for E-foil. We ended up machining several different front wings to make it better. In the setup we use now we have a plywood front wing.
But for this baby you will need a hell of power

where can we buy it?
