    that was amazing: I don't know how to make tiny golf-ball-dimples or the opposite convex-bumps but both make a massive difference releasing surface-tension-drag, even prevents cavitation; you just have a super-dynamic hydro-engineering-surface to play with.

    Great craftmanship. After you shaped the wing using those screws, what kept the shape after you removed it from the baseplate? Did you steam it or something like that?

    • @HANDIY
      @HANDIY  9 месяцев назад +2

      The 2 layers of plywood making up the wing stay in this curved shape once the epoxy cures, it will give back a little once the screws are removed, but 90% of the curve will stay.

    Great build ,nice workman ship , the eye and skills can do what cnc can do ,and actually for flow/fairing hand sanding with a form following inner may be better than any cnc . I have made foils with ply ,for windsurfers ,and surfboards [ starting in late 70s ] , the laminates give you a great picture of the foil shape and a way to replicate both sides . You could possibly do a set of plans , material list , profiles etc ?.

    Hi. Thanks for sharing.
    How did you select the wings profile? Are from NACA profiles?
    And the angle of mounting related to the longitudinal body and mast?

    • @HANDIY
      @HANDIY  10 месяцев назад +3

      I eyeballed all the profiles and angles, but before that, i studied many different factory made foils on the beach. The different layers of ply's will give you all the visual info needed when shaping. I'll try and make a video about these two subjects soon. Cheers!

    One thing I don't really see is if the last fiberglass covers the leadins and trailing edges.
    I was scared that the coats delaminate à joining point.
    Cheers,

    • @HANDIY
      @HANDIY  9 месяцев назад

      I stopped using fiberglass in my recent builds, I just add an extra carbon layer to have something to sand into for the final sanding before the hotcoat. There is an overlap of between the top and bottom lamination at the leading edge, the trailing edge dosnt but there is a decent edge of carbon and epoxy before the wood, haven't had an issues so far.

  • @fdhgsdfdssdf
    @fdhgsdfdssdf Год назад +5

    Incredible work! I just have one curiosity: I see all hydrofoils for surfboards have some sort of negative camber/dihedral, what is the reason for it?

    • @HANDIY
      @HANDIY  Год назад +12

      Indeed most foils have Anhedral camber to reduce roll stability, helps the foil follow when leaning into a turn.

    • @HansMueller661
      @HansMueller661 9 месяцев назад +1

      I think it improves the stability: a downward force is required to compensate for the kite's upward force, so its like an inverse flying plane, the v-shape of a plane serves for a stabilization, so it must be inverse v-shaped

    • @robertcain3426
      @robertcain3426 7 месяцев назад

      It's about manouverability. Passenger planes have the opposite, upward vee of the wings for stability since they are not overly concerned with manouverabilty. Fighter jets, on the other hand, have wings like these foils with an upsidedown vee because it's all about manouverability - easier to turn. Cheers

    Hello, could I ask if the material used to make this can be replaced by carbon fiber board? If so, would the cost be higher?

    • @HANDIY
      @HANDIY  6 месяцев назад

      Its a pretty good idea, you could treat the carbon fiber board just like the plywood. The shaping process will probably be tougher, but you might be able to skip lamination and just hotcoat your shape. Could be worth a try if you have Carbon fiber Board.
