Foiling terms: Angle of Incidence vs Angle of Attack

[@markusbroyles1884]

I'm building all my own equipment from composites and need these details (Angle of incedence ) to begin assembling the foil on the fusalage ~ Super stoked to find out this detail ! Thanks Aloha ~

Good to hear it’s helpful, good luck with your build. Make it as strong as possible.🤙🏼

Hi Robert, you are now the "rocket scientist" of the foil. Glad you got this stuff figured out, as the technical stuff is way over my head. Regardless, I always learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks, MD

Thank you Michael, I have to credit Lane Mead from Ke Nalu for explaining the difference between AOA and AOI to me, I'm just passing on what I have learned.

Great to see some CFD snapshots. I wonder if you could elaborate or do a video on the purpose of the rear stabiliser. Thanks

[@blueplanetsurf]

That sounds like a good topic. I’m not really an expert on the science but can explain what works for me. The interview with Adrian gets into this

Good Topic Rob, Can U design a system on da mast? To make adjustments as needed. Instead of adding shims or washers etc. 👍

[@blueplanetsurf]

Hi Paul, making the mast to fuselage angle adjustable is a good idea. On your Easy Foiler board you don't need any shims, it works best without shims. I would only consider using shims if you have a board that has a lot of rocker under the foil mount area.
