I wonder when they will put all the information of the 22 gear on their website.
The HG Quantum 100 morphed into Phantasm looks like the wing I beg for to complement my 926 for lightwind conditions.
Btw. with a powered wing the 926 is amazing, but for gusty lightwind i want more instant lift for takeoff, like I had on my Moses 873.
Anybody tried PFI 730 or 835 for winging yet?
I wonder if these LA wings are the way to go for winging. SS stands alone in offering no big HA wings for winging.
Lots more Phantasm HA (bigger wing options), more LA wings and more masts coming down the pipe but there is no date yet!
Its not been windy enough here to test the pfi 730 for winging, for my weight it will have to be cranking... the 926 works very well in 10-22mph
so 926 goes earlier than 730? interesting
haven't ridden both but that does not surprise me. more span/leading edge. foil section/thickness also plays a lot into this... of course no foil companies seem to list this as a measurement
got in a few runs on the Phantasm 926 yesterday. Lightish winds on the new Fanatic 5'0" 75l and Slick 4.0. Foil is smooth and very stable. Got some pretty good speed out of it. Seems to track in the carves well. Pretty stiff for pumping... will have to try the smaller stab and fuse. An easy foil to ride. Will be interesting to see how my wife likes it. She was very used to the Fanatic HA 1500 which I just sold. The Slingshot feels similar. She spent a couple days on the SABFoil W940/700/370... did not like it the first day, and liked it much better the 2nd day. She said it was scary fast, much less pitch stable, so she had to be much more careful, but that she enjoyed the speed, glide and ease of pump.
Components all fit together... needed to mallet together the fuse to mast connection. Screw holes on the mast could be bigger as the sides of the screws rub a little on the sides... hard to tell whether or not you are cross threading.
Mast is decently stiff. I think the small chord at the bottom makes it flexier esp in torsion. Overall weight is good. My first runs were in flat water. Need to get it in some chopswell today and see how i like it. Wondering if the winglets on the stab make for a grippy turn... maybe that's why people still like the Moses S420 stabs.
