Duotone Fuselage Aero AL 3BS
Description
Description
Building on the positive feedback we received for our 60cm Alu 3BS Fuselage, we decided to extend these improvements to our longer fuselages. We now have 66cm and 74cm AL 3BS Fuselages, which replace our previous 68cm and 78cm carbon fuselages. The switch to aluminum allows us to reduce the cross-section of the fuselage, thereby decreasing the drag generated by the fuselage. At the same time, we increase strength while only increasing weight by 2.5%. All our AL 3BS fuselages feature a small recess at the back where the stabilizer slots in, improving hydrodynamics. They have large cut-outs where the front wing is attached to minimize weight. Of course, the new aluminum fuselages require a little more care and must be disassembled and rinsed with fresh water after each use, but we believe the performance gain is worth it!
FAQ
FAQ
FAQ
What is the Duotone Fuselage Aero AL 3BS designed for?
The Fuselage Aero AL 3BS connects the front wing and stabilizer in your foil setup and, according to the manufacturer, is designed for the disciplines of wing, prone, kite, pump, downwind, SUP, and windsurfing.
What material is the fuselage made of?
The fuselage is made of aluminum. Compared to previous carbon fuselages, the cross-section could be reduced, which lowers drag and increases strength. According to Duotone, the weight only increases by around 2.5 percent.
In what lengths is the Aero AL 3BS available?
In this product line, the fuselage is available in the lengths of 60 cm, 66 cm, and 74 cm. This replaces the previous carbon variants with 68 cm and 78 cm.
Which wings and masts is the fuselage compatible with?
The Aero AL 3BS is compatible with Duotone wings from the SS24 season onwards, as well as with all Fanatic Aero wings. Mounting is done with the Duotone AL 3BS aluminum mast or the Aero SLS carbon mast.
What advantages does the aluminum construction offer?
The slimmer cross-section reduces water resistance, while the integrated recess at the rear ensures a clean transition to the stabilizer and improves hydrodynamics. Large cutouts at the front wing mounting additionally reduce the weight.
How do I properly care for the aluminum fuselage?
Since aluminum requires more care than carbon, you should disassemble the fuselage after every session and rinse it with fresh water. This prevents corrosion from saltwater and extends its lifespan.
For which skill level is the fuselage suitable?
The short lengths are maneuverable and allow for quick maneuvers, while the medium lengths offer a balanced mix of control and glide. This means the family covers both beginners and advanced foilers who want to fine-tune their setup.
What is included?
The Fuselage Aero AL 3BS is included in the delivery. The required screws are included in the set, depending on the length chosen.
