TL;DR

  1. Use Tef-Gel in adapter pin holes
  2. Ensure proper thread engagement of fuselage hardware (2x diameter of screws: 12mm for M6, 16mm+ for M8)
  3. Remove your foil when you're not foiling
  4. Rinse your mast and adapter after use
  5. Remove or loosen the adapter when not foiling for extended periods
  6. Store out of the sun and ideally inside

RE: Compatibility with Fusion

Launch Batch masts are not compatible with Fusion without the use of the Foil Drive Barnacle. As you can see in the video below, the mount does not have adequate space to house the splices, and pulling them to that location can cause damage. Future batches of masts will be compatible with Fusion; stay tuned for an updated video.

Masts with serial# greater than 100 (FD100+) are directly compatible with fusion. If switching between the two cable lengths, be very careful and move slowly. Ensure splices are not crossing over each other, binding, or proud of the mount cavity. Contact us with any questions as we are happy to help!
