cmckesson, Thanks! I will.
cmckesson, I am really interested in finding out more information about the GT-200 project. I did a google search and searched this forum and...
Sailor Dan, Thanks for the advice. I really wish I could justify building a towable model but the wing is designed to be inherently unstable....
lucdekeyser, I will certainly post pictures and videos as soon as it is built and out on the water being tested! Also, it may not be the most...
rwatson, The wake wing was designed specifically to address the dangers of those ridiculous flying inflatable towables, and I wish you wouldn't...
lucdekeyser, Thanks so much for the feedback and interesting ideas. One thing to keep in mind about all those smallest WIG craft is that they...
portacruise, Very interesting question! I believe that without a rider on board the wing will be inherently unstable and will probably...
rwatson, Just because I haven't shown all the math on my site doesn't mean that it hasn't been done. I have studied the characteristics of many...
portacruise, Thanks for the comments and thoughts. I agree that something trailing in the water might help stability significantly. That is why...
rxcomposite, A foam model simply would not fly with any control. This design needs a rider to make fast and constant adjustments, much like a...
Leo, Yes, it was a proposal, but I hadn't heard of it before. I want to know which projects didn't work as well. But, you are right, I am still...
rxcomposite, Thanks! That skimmer link is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for!
rxcomposite, I'm well aware of the history of hang glider development, and why they are stable. There are clearly huge differences between them...
Leo, Sorry, I should clarify. I found a lot on google also, but the reason I posted on Boatdesign.net was in the hopes of finding some more...
rxcomposite, Thanks for the link. After briefly scanning it, I see a lot of helpful information, especially on the shifting center of lift as...
rxcomposite, I'm sorry, but I believe balancing by shifting body weight is possible. I have a lot of experience on foilboards and I don't think...
Fast Fred, I'm not sure if you are trying to tell me that my design will be a problem because it needs to be so close to the ground? If so, I...
Thanks Leo! I'll see if the math is too advanced. ;) I appreciate the references.
The wing actually has almost exactly 43 square feet of surface area (12ftx4ft minus the sweep of the wing). The wing will weigh about 50lbs and...
rwatson, Thanks for the info and comments. I would like to share some features that I see differently from you, and hear some more of your...
