2. There were none made as of 2 weeks ago when I spoke to the owner and certainly none delivered or I think this forum would know.
I have just seen a pic of one that arrived in Japan!
Looks like foils are arriving!
Better late than never, I say.

I have a question to Mr Carafino : What is the definitive configuration of the stabilizer ?
On some pictures, the winglets are pointing down and on others they are pointing up.

Your way of talking to people is a shame for the kitesurfing world. I have ner read such things before.
That is because I am a working man, not a politician. I do not take much B.S. from guys hiding on a forum, what for?

I'm curious, if the front and rear wings are removable for transportation

On some pictures, the winglets are pointing down and on others they are pointing up.
That is a great question....... winglets as you call them are known as wing tips. Wing tips reduce slippage. also known as yawing. They help you to track in a straight line. Up or down, the purpose is to track.

Thanks for your quick answer Mr Carafino ! So the stabilizer works fine in both configurations ? Is it the same on all of the pictures ?
Another question : Are the new wings compatible with the old Carafino MX9 t-bar ?

does that imply that the foil sections are symmetric?
...and that the interface with the fuselage is a good fit in both directions?
or just you way of providing additional trim adjustments?

oops.
so much for Toby's new posting protocol...sorry
