• Now slide the wedges into the gaps at 

theback end of the mast. Start with one 
oneach  side  of  the  fuselage,  with  the 

flat 
faces of the wedges in contact with the 

fuselage. Slide the wedge retainer from 
the back over the wedges and fuselage 

to keep it in place.                                                     (See Image 4) 
 

 

• Nex

t, attach the smaller 

back wing with the flatter 
side in contact with 

the 

bottom 

of 

the 

fuselage. Use 2 of the M6 

x 20mm screws. A shim 
can  be  placed  between 
the 

back 

wing 

and 

fuselage with the rounded 
end at the back. Typically, 
the  thicker  the  shim,  the 
more back foot 

pressure  and  foil-flying 
skill is required. 

These 

screws 

pass 

through the smaller wing and shim into the fuselage, 

where it can be mounted in up to 5 different locations. Farthest back will 
provide most lift and directional stability. Farthest forward will make for 

a very agile and manoeuvrable foil. Use the 4mm Allen key and tighten 
by hand. Do not overtighten the screws.  

 

• The front wing slides tight onto the fuselage. Please note that the

 

curved side of the wing must be facing up towards the mast. Once it is 

in position, screw in the M6 x 20mm screw that keeps the wing from
