Ok I've just tried to put some Phantasm foils (new Phantasm masts, infinity masts and new Phantasm fuses and new adaptor) together and I had some issues. Maybe, someone here has a solution for my "adaptor" problem. I posted this in the comments section following Slingshot's Phantasm foil video on Youtube:

"Here are some issues I've had with the Phantasm system. My 82 aluminium mast fits the new fuse no problem but not the 92 carbon mast. I had to file the front part that fits into the fuse some to get it to work -- not a big deal but you want to make sure everything fits before you go to the beach or you will potentially be frustrated if you have issues. I also have the adaptor that fits into the slot in the new fuse so you can attach it to the old infinity mast. Well, the holes in my adaptor don't line up with the holes in the fuse. I flipped the adaptor around and put it back into the fuse. -- no go! The holes don't line up either way so unless I'm totally out to lunch, which is a possibility, this adaptor is useless to me. I may be wrong but I suspect whoever makes these adaptors for Slingshot screwed up and Slingshot has had them make the correction, however, Slingshot, rather than pulling this product, just sent out the originals to unsuspecting retailers and their customers. I hope I'm wrong but it's possible."

There may be a simple solution that I'm missing and, if so, I owe Slingshot an apology.

The adapter needs to be bolted on the bottom of your old hoverglid mast then inserted in your new fuse and bolted again (sorry if I just stated the obvious)?

You're right. I sat and fiddled with it for about ten minutes and it hit me that the adaptor goes on and is bolted onto the mast first and then it is inserted into the fuselage and bolted on to it. No bolts came with it to attach it to the mast -- luckily I found some that worked.

I guess I owe Slingshot an apology -- I just wish they had put a diagram in with the adaptor showing (1) the adapter attaching to the mast first and then (2) inserting into the fuselage. It would have saved a dumbass like me some time and frustration.

It's cool my one came with bolts to fix it to the hoverglide mast wich helped
What was more frustrating the full Phantasm 730 set with wide mast and cary bag and everything doesn't come with mast to board bolts and the hover glide ones are to short so make sure you get them separately if you upgrade to a carbon mast ??

I also bought an 82 cm. aluminium Phantasm mast and it came with bolts to attach it to the board's track but you're right -- if you purchase the entire foil package you don't get those bolts.

Anyone else here have to file the front of the piece of the carbon mast that inserts into the fuselage? I didn't have any issues with the aluminium mast but the carbon mast just wouldn't slide into the insert on the fuselage (I tried banging it in with a rubber mallet but figured I might do some damage if I continued so I switched to the file). I filed just a little off and in it went nice and snug.

Might was a tight fit so I put some of the grease on it and that did the trick
