    Do you have to program your FD seperately for different batteries (max & sport)? Or do the settings stay the same when you switch to a different battery?

    I weigh 120 kg. and I am finding that the foil drive won't lift me without the help of a wave .... is there a weight limit ? for the foil drive Gen 2 ?

  • @Destination360
    @Destination360 9 дней назад

    Maybe save someone else time. I tried installing on top tail no signal. The only placement that would work was near controller hand. New to FD but surprised at signal quality, or lack of.

    One thing I’m wondering, which you didn’t address in the video. If you’re running foildrive Gen2 (I realise this video was made before Gen 2), as an E foil with the motor down the bottom of the mast near the fuselage. Is the two blade prop 50% less drag compared to the three blade prop when the motor is off and you’re riding a wave or ground swell? Just ordered my Gen2 setup for proning, but may replace my HEAVY Fliteboard with an integrated mast option, if testing goes well. Many thanks for creating this great product. Cheers Muz

    Did everything this guy said and both sets of latches broke in 15 battery changes. There is a problem that needs to be addressed and fixed but that does me no good now while on vacation and no foil drive. By the way replacing a set of latches is $104! That I believe is called bullshit. Come on foil drive you can do better than that.

    Thanks for the Christmas update 🎁! Have been struggling in choppy conditions to get up on small gear and in bigger swells where you think everywhere you go is "uphill". That's even harder than flat water. New boost is enabling me to ride waves I had only dreamed about.😊🎉..cancelled the jet ski on my wish list😂

    • @stefanfuhrmann-wt3zd
      @stefanfuhrmann-wt3zd 26 дней назад

      @FOILING-ITALY Ciao ragazzi🤙. Sardinia is amazing for Foildriving. I'd recommend a fast foil that takes a lot of speed. I have been "overfoiled" on 850cm² because of the typical long swells with Mistral NW. Shoes are crucial! I am avoiding local Surfer crowds like "Mini Capo, Sa Mesa" I studied rocks under water with Google maps 😅. Have fun! P.s.: made surfer friends by communicating.."Am I disturbing you? Trying to not get in your way!"🤗

I know mini capo well and will avoid busy areas for sure. we will be looking for new spots probably around sant antiocco, area .. Thanks for the foil size advice , it would be perfect with my HA 680 i guess..

    I ride a 5’4” 46L board with an 880cm2 foil and i weigh 90kgs. I personally do not need the new boost settings. I find a longer 22 second 20% boost works better for flat water starts with my small foil and longish board and my battery last longer than the 24% boost.

    That is exactly the question. How to mount or hold the controller. I successfully used a paddle holder to mount it to my wing’s front handle. Julia is apparently using the strap and holds it in her hands. What do you guys recommend? One year ago you promised to make on video on that.

    Nice upgrade features Paul, especially reminders like the FD is powered & ready or alarming/notifying inactivity. Any suggestions or recommendations when using 3-blade prop? I'm < 75kg & find boost isn't required. Thanks for all the great support of your products!

    • @foildrive
      @foildrive Месяц назад

      Thankyou! Boost wont be required for everyone, as your technique progresses you'll get in a good flow with the setting you need. Try it as programmed from factory, and if you're finding you need a little more in take-off to get up and going, try add a little more boost in small increments. Adjusting the boost time will also be relevant. time in water is your best friend, as you learn, it'll only get easier and easier. Build speed to get into position, slowly add more speed and save your boost for when you're about to jump on foil. Boost will activate when the throttle passes 95%, best to build speed, motor at 90% and then engage your boost for that critical moment right before you get on foil. Caitlyn

      You don't have to use the app if you prefer not to, the factory settings are ideal as is for a lot of riders, however you will miss out on updates from time to time if you choose not to. You can always set your app up, get your settings right then only come back to it if you would like to upgrade your features as we release updates. Its not necessary to use it every session but is there as an option for those who really want to fine tune their ride!
