Hi
Only to know if there is any other brand different from Neil pryde whose fuselages could be compatible with NP masts and wings or there is any extension for NP fuselages on the market.

The new red fuselages from NP are compatible with old green masts/wings, right?

Thanks.

There's a thread on DIY extensions for the NP Pinkie AL which extends to the Green (and thus HP Glide series).
I have not seen any aftermarket Fuses. The new fuses for the flight FR are not compatible; nor any other NP fuses.

The red (and gold) fuses fit the Green Glide foils just fine, HOWEVER the Green fuses are slightly wider at the (between screw one and two) than the Red/Gold series, meaning that you would need to force these to fit by sanding = NOT recommended as they corrode at the sanded location (based on my personal my experience buying Glide HP wings and thinking I could use the Green fuses without issue - the NP agent here admitted the same.)

I just bought NP HP15 to mount on my Green fuse, and my dealer said to sand the foil so the fuse fits. I used some sandpaper wrapped around a paint stir stick. I didn't need to take off much, and it fits well. The foil is seated properly and the screws are flush with the foil.

BTW, Mucel I am interested in the other thread you started on the differences between the blue Wind Glides and HPs because I bought the HP 15 to replace my Blue Glide. Haven't tried it yet.

Thread a while ago about extensions for the Pinkie & green ally foil. WSP in Perth may still have them. Made the fuse about 950.

I just bought the HP17 and it mounted to the green fuse with no issue. I do us a larger stabilizer which helps control due to the short fuse

Fair enough; I'd done a repair one of the green foils before, so was wary of how thin the carbon is, so was wary about shaving off Carbon at a location that might weaken the point of maximum bending moment. The foil costs over double the fuselage, but sanding teh fuselage wasn't great either (I leave my foils screwed together on teh fuse, only ever disassemble the foil mast. With Tef-Gel this has worked well for me with unscrewing them, but the corrosion on the sanded portion was wicked.
