I've been working on a bunch of stuff in the garage - fodder for the next few posts...
Now that I have to use the GoFoil (and I'm actually opening my eyes to the other foils out there), I instantly got renewed interest in redoing some of the rear stabilizers I made a while back. I recall a discussion I had with Jeff after I gave him one of the first of the finished batch. He said it felt a little slow to him - and he grinded some thickness off. After the modification, he said it was a fun stabilizer. With that, I set off to grind/sand a few down.
This is number 9. I used it straight "as-is" today to set a baseline.
And this is after I removed about half an ounce of material. So number 5 and number 9 was been revised to have thinner profiles as you get closer to the tips.
I'll bolt on number 9 again tomorrow so I will have a back to back comparison. On today's ride, I did feel like I was going a tad slower. This is going to be fun experiment.
