Foilstate

More time on the enduro 700..
+ Stiffer setup than Fone (stiffer connection and uhm)
+ Super user friendly AR11. Really predictable behavior at stall and top speed, tubercules filtering out the noise, amazing roll at all speeds.
+ 2 fuselages varying the front wing to mast position, the short one frees even more the playfulness of the wing. Would recommend the short for smaller conditions, hip high and below, and the long one for bigger conditions.
– Finish not as good as Fone. Painted parts and some carbon parts lacking a bit of epoxy on the surface.
– Sand tends to get stuck in the fuse to front wing connection, not too bad but has to be cleaned when mounting the wing on.
– Only some wings with this connection system, silks still monobloc. With the enduro connection system, lacking options in smaller sizes, faster Laurent Borgna designs, maybe in the future. An updated silk with this connection system would surely be special.

• Speed range is probably between a sk8 750 and 850, so at 80kg it’s optimal from knee to chest high. The sk8 750 is still a bit faster and feels more comfortable above chest high, the lower AR also helps. However the enduro probably replaces my eagle 790 and sk8 950 as it is the same span and much better performances/user friendliness.
• The silk tail 132 felt draggy compared to the KD13R, it generates a lot of lift. First feels winging are rather negative but will try it again in small conditions proning.
• Turning definitely feels different. Sk8 loads up the G’s with equal foot pressure while the enduro stays very light and brings a bit more front foot pressure.

Probably not expanding the quiver on afs as KT is coming jan/feb and will be keen to try those out. Good times good times!
