After seeing a bunch of new foil announcements from Armstrong, I got the bug to chop down a wing - or two. This afternoon I passed up a winging session (too many clouds and showers running through), came home and among other things, mapped out a couple of chop shop plans. Here is a HS1550 with the HS1850 tips. This is the same chop I did for a couple of the foilers at my beach. The foil gets a lot looser after this, but still has the lift of the straight 1550. This cut will be on the outer tape line.
A second view.
And this is an HS1850 with 2.5 cm marked off the trailing edge. This will reduce the surface area by 235 cm^2 (so 1610 ish). After rounding off the new tips, the area should be just under 1600.
I'll cut these this weekend.
