So maybe this is a factor why it is effective with less movement.<BR/><BR/>I got my fastacraft main foil working nice by changing the phase of the system. IE. the flat stay fully down till the boat is out the ware then it moves more and more as you get higher. Max flap up is when the want is vertical. This means the pivot is slightly aft of the (straight) wand when the want is vertical.Doug Culnanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539164499743848586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423688743286113994.post-81720701564922124762008-08-28T22:11:00.000-04:002008-08-28T22:11:00.000-04:00Thanks, Bruce.

I guess it time to reduc eteh gain by moving my forward cable attachment closer to the wand pivot.<BR/><BR/>The template is useful, thanks.Joe Bousquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18292612536072788020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423688743286113994.post-71011615190617920662008-08-28T19:35:00.000-04:002008-08-28T19:35:00.000-04:00Joe,The bladerider front foil setup template http:...Joe,<BR/><BR/>The bladerider front foil setup template http://www.bladerider.com.au/support/front_foil_template.pdf shows how much travel they have designed into their foil.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/><BR/>BruceTeknologikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496828852888172896noreply@blogger.com
