Good to see this project move forward. Looking forward to seeing it on/in the water.

[@mankindw1]

So krass was du da alles machst! Ich ziehe meinen Hut! Tolle Sache, würde mich freuen das gute Stück einmal zu testen und zu fahren!

[@fluiditynz]

I was crying inside when I saw you cut that huge hole in the load bearing side of the mast for the cable entries. Please, swap out the mast with another and drill 2 holes only big enough for one cable instead, vertically and cut vertically between them with a dremel to expand the size for 3 cables. I am impressed with your efforts on all the rest. Interesting to see 3rd party controllers and that the felix remote is using ESP32 wireless. For those who also do software and hardware, the ESP32 series is very powerful and can also be controlled through Arduino IDE.

[@fero7786]

Yes it's true that rhe ESP32 is very powerful, that's why we used it👐

[@jonabub]

I love your projects and videos and mostly the fact that you share everything! Please keep going on and don't worry, we don't mind waiting, we all have jobs and thing's going on. :) But we will also enjoy to see this project further developing :)

[@ChrisBourkeHello]

Hilarious, I was thinking about this project earlier in the week, wondering what happened to it. Well done completing this, looking forward to the test ride!

[@renaud72]

Thank you for sharing , hope to see it on water soon !

[@williamschultz298]

lets go!!! good to finally see you get going again

[@VitaliiThe]

Same story bro, but I even not started :)

[@0xhexdec]

Nice to see the project coming to an end. Seeing your design now, with some foiling experience, where do you plan to stand on? As a rule of thumb, the center of mass (mainly you) and center of lift (roughly the center of the front wing) should line up. Factoring in your stance, the rear foot is roughly over the mast (there seems to be no pad) , the front foot in front of the wing (round about the position of your VESC Box, a little in front of that, maybe the Cable channel) that looks like a "not so comfy position". for your first tests, maybe take some double sided tape and a small plywood piece with you. If the stance is in a bad spot, just tape the plywood on the board to get a flat surface for your front foot. Have fun with your E-Foil, cheers

[@jayfeaver8243]

Wonderful. Great work. I am super impressed. As someone who has a half finished paddle board I last worked on just before my 8 yr old son was born hanging in his basement I can relate to the other obligations part. Look forward to the testing when you have time. J

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Hey that is nice to hear that I am not the only one with delayed projects.

[@bobjohnson2570]

I want to see the test !!! Nice work :-)

[@bit1564]

Cant wait to see you fly it!

[@Jynxx_13]

Use Trim-Lok for cut edge protection. Its a U shaped rubber with metal grippers and just hammers on with rubber mallet.

[@BenjaminB0907]

Die Idee das selber zu bauen find ich super geil. Mein grösten Respekt das du das auf englisch machst das gibt einen Daumen hoch und eine Aktivierung der Glocke !

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Vielen Dank! Damals gab es auch noch keine zu kaufen. Das hat sich mitlerweile geändert.

[@jimday6244]

Really interesting project. Good job.

[@pusnirizda5481]

Thats a nice hydrofoil, keep doin'!

[@lawnmowerdude]

The tire valves to check for leaks is really smart.

[@waggerdagger2831]

Impressive builds!

[@bobjoatmon1993]

I think you need to secure the motor bracket to the vertical column so it can't move up or down and pinch / cut the power cables

[@lukedoesstuff74]

Omg yes!!!!!

[@kanenscott8883]

No way! I think about this project almost daily cause I have my own similar project which I am still trying to build my first prototype

[@pacificmeister]

Congratulations! Very nice. So cool that you finished it after all this time. Good luck with the testing!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks for starting this whole subculture!

[@iamkian]

I would love to try your remote! Need any "young" testers? Now I'm "stuck" with the Maytech.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

@@iamkian Have you got a Hydrofoil to test it with? It is not my remote. It is form Felix Remote.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

A bit disappointed the end was not the Hydrofoil travelling in water.

[@louietramposch4559]

Sick ☝️🤟👽🏄‍♂️

[@Barzar100]

Awesome Wann gibt's das Versuchsvideo

[@Zutun-4K]

Max Macher !

[@irkedoff]

Nice❣️

[@ptj6412]

Well?? When are we going to see it in action in the water?

[@redshepard5306]

I make things every day, usually just messes and mistakes, but on occasion huge life altering problems as well. Thanks for a good break from all that. Cool project and i cant wait to see more.

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Making stuff is a lot of fun. I could do those jobs were you only answer emails all day.

[@impuls60]

Ceramic grease is a safer bet on screws in saltwater.

[@kylebaxter3456]

ah man gotta see if it works in the water!

[@franzupet4406]

finaly

[@ArbitraryOnslaught]

hope your on that thing zippin around

[@JamiePineappleWyatt]

This made me really, really miss my multistar packs

[@crazydrifter13]

I can see how this can evolve into a hydrofoil boat. I would like to invest my 4 dollars (100% net worth) in your future business 😂

[@SharkWhite333]

Omg cool cant wait to see it fly i watched all the vods so far and building also one because of you🤘😂 I have one question regarding the weight. Ive seen your board is about 18kg (foilzone) i weighted all my stuff today and im getting 29kg in total. Do you think it os too heavy? The only thing i can reduce some weight will be the battery (14s10p) as i havent build it yet. Ive looked at the weight of the foils you can buy and theyre about 30kg so i think it should be fine but im little nervous on tht. Kr and thex for the info

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I cannot say for sure, but I think the weight is okay. Ultimately I think my wing is far too small. A bigger wing means more drag but also more lift. At the end of the day we just have to try it out.

[@NicolaGrossenb876]

Hallo! Bin gerade daran meinen Esc neu zu definieren. Wäre es möglich, zwei 22ah lipos parallel zu schalten, und dennoch meinen 150a esc nicht zu verschmelzen? Ich benutze keine gearbox. Könntest du mit meinem Vorhaben die Betriebszeit schätzen? Vielen Dank!

[@ikbendusan]

hey dude i came across one of your autodesk forum posts asking about what license you need for fusion 360 for youtube work; have you ever gotten a conclusive answer?

[@AhrnNilsson]

I never surfed on a hyrdofoil I hear its very hard to learn even for surfers, snowboarders. So for you to learn on this will probably be really difficult. Since you wont know if it's to little lift for you. Also I feel like you would want your foot right where small metal box is, I think you need a cover on that because you cant stand on the side without losing balance. Cool buil I wish I had one :D

[@MaxMakerChannel]

We tried it this summer. You can start by sitting on it and lifting your legs out of the water. Then you apply throttle and see if you get lift. It didn’t produce enough throttle, so for this year I have a new prop.

[@renaud72]

How do you cool the ESC : do you have a pump to get fresh water for the cooling ?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Hey, its planned to purely sit in a bath of water. The big electronics box in the front has large drainage holes, but the ESC has none. I guess after a few minutes it could overheat the water. Then I would need to change it.

[@iamkian]

@@MaxMakerChannel It will (should) start throttling at 80c

[@abelmurua6980]

where can I get all the electronics? motor and motor controllers?

[@AndrewHelgeCox]

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@333cgs333]

Good job. There are 3 cables from the motor. So need 3 waterproof connectors. Why not just put them together? And use just 1 connector? Thx

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I think you can do that if you have one of thise rubber cylinders that has 3 holes inside for each of the three wires.

[@shokx]

Kupferpaste ist doch eigentlich für Verbindungen von Stahl und Stahl die auch noch thermisch belastet werden. Alu und Kupfer vertragen sich nicht. Siehe Alufelgen die fangen dann an der Nabe an zu gammeln

[@JeremyCook]

Soapy water is a neat trick. Also like the ride logging. Waiting to see you test this out. Are you going to wear one of those bikinis while doing so? Saw someone riding a hydrofoil the other day at the beach, thought of you of course 😃

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Will try it out soon I hope. Just need to find a good spot. After that maybe I can build a boat : )

Im not the first to write this here, i presume. But Zink; Unfortunate choice. But your worksmanship is good :)

[@MaxMakerChannel]

What zink?

[@hawkins2211]

How much did this al cost?

[@fujifilm3141]

hi, can you share the drawing of the motor mount?

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Yes, but I am on holiday. Can you remind me on tuesday?

[@fujifilm3141]

hi, how is your holiday? can you send the diagram?

[@tijssens]

The wing seems really small?

[@steejans]

Hi Max, any update on this? I really want to see it flying!

[@MaxMakerChannel]

We tried it last summer. The thrust wasn´t enough, so I bought a new aluminium prop exactly for this application. Will try it out next summer!

What the hell! I very got projects unfinished 20 years

[@tobiwan001]

12:08 Well, who wouldn't focus on the bikini business?

[@Das_Carstel]

That switch was quite random, to be honest.

[@iamkian]

Funny. My dad and I are now building our 2nd one. ..... In 3 months :-)

[@iamkian]

One more. You should have used the 1st motormount, and make a little cut in the front and back of the mast. This will stop the mount moving up and down! With the 2nd motormount the clamp/motor can slide up/down, cut the wires, and cause a lot of problems 😱😱

[@MaxMakerChannel]

@@iamkian That is a very good idea!

[@pushthebutton4602]

5 years later he is testing it in the water? :)

[@5L4P5T1CK]

PLA strong enough - in water environment .. damn mate, use PETG. I mean... really.

[@attisattis3057]

So, did it fly or not ??

[@MaxMakerChannel]

Got to still test it in the water. Maybe this year. I am a bit down with Long Covid.

[@gnydick]

where are you supposed to stand? You've got grip tape in the back and in the front, but electronics boxes in the center.

[@KevwePatani]

KZbin just recommended this video to me again Wondering if you're still interested in thid project

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I am. Just got a new prop for testing.

[@KevwePatani]

@@MaxMakerChannel Awesome! Take your time then

[@MachRC9]

Have you tried it on the water????

[@MaxMakerChannel]

My health is a bit shitty at the moment. Hopefully next year.

[@iforce2d]

That's an awful lot of motor for a 3d printed mount...

[@MaxMakerChannel]

I think it will be alright. The mount is solid printed and they are stronger than one thinks. Also I use a 0.6mm nozzle which gives better layer adhesion. I do it because 0.6mm just prints much faster than the standard 0.4mm nozzle and there are no more clogs.
