Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Bob, A body board co over hear brought out an all black board which looks gorgeous so I had to try .They say black boards don’t like hot climates ? The hypersonic UAV that inspired the wing form has a similar paint pattern, the deck is all black foam with 20mm deep elbow inlays, and it should be ...

Re: My lates Wing board
I have been looking at the board to long, my insecurity convinced me fit a removable fin; I started with an aluminium root inlay sandwiched between two layers of Airex foam. I am beginning to like Airex

Re: My lates Wing board
Brett, I am shore the wife will be happy, but it is not that easy to walk away from an obsession like this. And I think most independent free thinkers have self doubt. I always remember the early ornithopter flying projects, and now we are talking about swarms of flapping drones doing all sorts of u...

Re: My lates Wing board
Wooddave,
This to me is the most exciting part of the prose’s the anticipation, of the first ride on a new board. Have fun and post pictures as soon as possible, but I must admit having a camera to handle on a new board can be very distracting

Re: My lates Wing board
Hi Brett, Thanks for the complements they are encouraging, don’t be so hard on your own work there is nothing wrong with it, I heard a lot of people doing projects like we do, get discouraged because the intense scrutiny on the project makes you see all the small and mostly insignificant flaws, some...

Re: My lates Wing board
Bob,
The anhedral wing and the tail rail should give sufficient hold, if it doesn’t hold I will make a slip on wing fence, I think keeping it as clean as possible is important, there is already a lot of stuff hanging in the water
