Re: Stethoscope to detect small leakage?

+1 for spray bottle with dishwashing soap and water
Slow leak makes fuz balls
big leak makes big bubbles
Do all octopus system valves, and inflate and deflate valves

Re: Foil - Sabfoil 699 vs Slingshot ptm 684

I too ride the 684
I didn’t like the way it turned on the 710 fuz so I too went with the 653 fuz and now I can turn it
But I found that ps 400 a bit large for anything near 17 mph
But I like it for light wind
So now I’ve got a 360 V-tail coming

Re: are any of the masts compatible?

I’d look at the Slingshot hover glide because they seem to have stayed the same since the beginning And on the first couple of stringy foils that came out, he just elongated one hole to use either liquid force or slingshot mast. You might check it I don’t know.

Re: Foil track deforming / crimping edge from track nuts

I’m thinking you have a bigger front wing with winging so more stress on the hardware I think I’ve seen a couple different kind of tee nut set ups I like the big brass ones I keep my tee nuts and bolts in the track and it leaves those round marks in the bottom of the track but to make sure my bolts ...

Re: Foil track deforming / crimping edge from track nuts

I wonder if the tee nut is twisting when you tighten it up so it doesn’t seat and it’s gouging up your side wall there ?
Or could the tee nuts be small?
What are you riding ?
Kite or wing?

Re: pro's and/or cons of pitch stability

What about moment the distance between the wings and the greater that distance, you probably get a whole bunch of pitch stability but it wouldn’t be much fun to ride like Peter said it’s not just about the size of the back wing but the moment too I’m riding a stringy surf foil (1200) and it has a ve...
