Angle on rear wing
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 1:56 pm
Hi guys
Just a quick question for the experts I have made my own foil and is riding well, but I can only get a 10 second ride at a time before touching the nose down and wiping out the wind here at the mo is winter gusty and does pull me off balance quite a bit.
The AoA is 0° on the rear wing, and once on the foil it seams quite balanced, even weight on both feet.
Should I trim The rear wing so that it will want to rise slightly. So that I have to put a little more weight on my front foot.
or should it take me more than a 8 hours of riding to feel at home and in control of when I touch down.
Thanks for your help
