Ben - you made all those fins? Amazing! They look good, how did you get them to glow in the dark?

cheers huck !

 

[ just as an aside : that is a hicksy-designed ‘swaylocks inspired’ logo too , by the way.]

 

The ‘glo’ ??

 

I need to send back to perth for some more , at some stage …

 

  it is powder , mixed with the resin .

It turns a litre or two of resin a lightly greenish kinda colour [almost a G10 /  fake volan caste]

 

 It was a  couple of years ago now , when I layed up panels using it , but ,  from memory , it was ? 100gms , maybe ? of the powder , to two litres of lam resin  , giving maybe 3  8x10"panels [2 twinnys , or three small thruster fins , per panel ]

 

 Now  some of these have been reshaped , into the one tabbers you see here …

Ben

I ordered a quad set of these c-drive fins from australia last week

just ran some tests this weekend with a gemini I got from Steamroller (picture of him ith the board  below)

and i am really impressed with the fins.

been allot of negative reports on them but I figured if Maurice Cole is sold on them and riding the heck out of them at 60 then i needed to find out.

lots of drive and release, remnds me of my old vector 2 3-2-1 467’s i used to use.

you should given that design a try especially as a quad

I also tried these super expensive elevons from future on a firewire potatonator and they were not as half as good as these c-drives

I also tried these humongous curved fins from Greg Webber on a 7’8" but the board was too big to get a real result
