Foil Profiles

From FoilDesign

This page should list profiles (preferably with a link to the profile on the web) and a description of their characteristics. Put any more information into a profiles notes by creating a section on this page for the profile and linking to it as a bookmark (see example profile EP1). For more information (like sources of profiles) see Profile Questions

Use the example profile as a template for your edits - If you dont know some of the information put "??" in the table row and hopefully someone else will fill it in!:

• Changed the thickness to 18%, wasnt very good - 17% much better

MH92

This is a very thin foil, at 14.5% as standard. I used it as such on a 5^m, and it proved to be blinding fast. I've also used the same foil thickened up to 18% on a higher AR kite (5.3 AR, 2.8m^2), which is wicked fast. A nice thing about this for buggying is that you can park the kite anywhere in the window and not get dragged about, but once you start it moving it pulls you out of your boots. Mind you, once it's moving, you need to pay attention... The MH92 is part of a series of profiles from Martin Hepperle
