Hey CDog,

I have a similar configuration with your Slingy-Stringy setup. If you don't mind, what's that shim that you added at the tail? How did affect the ride versus no shim?

I did not realize after looking at the Stringy pics again that jaxonholer has the same setup as yours. My rear wing is bolted flat on the fuselage.

The silver mast has a higher aspect front wing I think it's older
Also fey my girlfriend says it has a little drag in the initial part of takeoff but once the foil kicks in its a stringy
We have a tail raiser pice
I put it on the silver mast one and it made the wings uneven
As viwed from the front
I feel the raised tail gets up and out of the way of any front wing wash
Both stringys are fastish
Next time out ill foil down to shellgate and let you try it !
Also
The silver mast is mounted more forward then the blue one
The silver one has no rear wing wing tip let's
And
It's not raised but actually lowered when in sailing position
