Hello guys!
I’m very happy for share muy build with you. I read a lot of post and finally I decided film all the process and show my board and my work. I hope that the videos help you to take ideas

The next links is the second board, I did a lot of mistakes, the most important, the weight 13kg only the board is more. In the third board I resolved some problems

Hola. Veo que estás en Barcelona. Yo estoy en Dénia. He hecho una tabla muy parecida a la tuya.
Sería interesante que nos pusiéramos en contacto. Lo más cómodo es hacerlo fuera de este grupo.
Soy Dibo. Publiqué algo tiempo atrás pero como mi inglés es bastante elemental y no me entendieron o no quisieron entenderme, desistí de publicar nada más.
Te envío mi email por si quieres que cambiemos impresiones. Puedes escribirme a: jaboba1948@gmail.com
Una vez contactados podremos facilitarnos nuestros teléfonos y hacerlo más cómodo.
Un abrazo.

Hello Maarten, do you need some more específic?

Hey Dibo, no te ofendas. No te rindas.
Muchos de los miembros del foro aquí no son de lengua materna inglesa así que, para ser entendidos, usan: https://www.deepl.com (simplemente genial) o https://translate.google.com/?hl=es (traduce páginas web completas)
La mayoría de la gente no puede molestarse en encender la traducción automática. Así que haz tu tarea y escribe en español en el traductor y copia la traducción inglesa aquí.
No te arrepentirás :wink:
Una última cosa. Una tabla en inglés es “board”. No digas que estás construyendo “a table” sino “a board”.

Hey Dibo, don’t be offended. Don’t give up.
Many forum members here are not of English mother tongue so, to be understood, they use : https://www.deepl.com (just great) or https://translate.google.com/?hl=es (translates full web pages)
Most people can’t bother to turn automatic translation on. So, do your homework and write in Spanish in the translator and copy the English translation here.
You won’t regret it :wink:
One last thing. A board in English is “tabla” in spanish. Don’t say you’re building “a table” but “a board”.

Hola!

No that list is perfect :slight_smile: I was especially interested in the water pump. Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Oh yes I had one more question, have you already made a battery pack? And which connectors do you use from the battery pack to the ESC? It looks like an XT-90?

Hello Maarten,
Yes, I made it too, it is a 18650 pack with 104cells, 13S, 20A with maximum discharge 160A.
The conector is XT90 from hobbyking
Here a video of make

Hola bro! Excelente trabajo, ya tienes la hidroala? De qué material la hiciste/piensas hacerla?
Saludos!

Hello Javi,
Construí uno de madera de Clearwater hydrofoil, pero no llegué a alzar el vuelo. Ahora utilizo el gongfoil allavator y se acabaron los problemas.

Hello Javi.
I made a wood Clearwater hydrofoil but I couldn’t flight. Now, I use gongfoil allavator and works very fine

Hello Xapape,
have you list all the money spent in this project?
what will you change for beginners in a project like yours?? (upgrades, recommendations, etc?

Saludos y gran proyecto!!

Hello xnash.
I don’t have the bill of materials of all. I have post the most important things.
Actually I’m testing a Maytech motor and the results are very positive. Flipsky motors are very similar, the two options are good to build your e-foil.
By other hand, I used the flier ESC. But I can’t use it with Maytech motor (don’t work softly) and I bought a new ESC. It’s more expensive but works very fine.

With the table now I’m building my 4th e-foil with an inflatable table. I have a small car and don’t have any space for bring the table to the beach or lake. I think that is a good solution but I don’t have experience with it by the moment.

If you build a EPS or foam board is very important the box and be sure that the water no fill it. You will spend a lot of money if occurs.

And finally the accuracy and security of your remote controller is the last important part. If you lost the signal or the throttle don’t work softly, the fly with the board is very very difficult.
In few days, when I will receive the board of remote controller, I share with you more parts.
