This video: Today, we prepare the hydrofoil wings for the top lamination of fibreglass by first filling any holes and depressions. Specifically, we add a mix of epoxy resin and milled fibreglass powder to the trailing edge to make the surface of the wing flat before adding the fibreglass and Carbon lamination to the top of the wings. In this video we also add a mixed filler to the foil wings screw connection holes We mix up epoxt resin, milled fibreglass and chopped fibreglass to the foil wings screw connection holes. This filler will help strengthen, support and waterproof the holes we will later redrill for the screws to go through and connect to the fuselage.

Can you make your own hydrofoil?

In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to make a hydrofoil from home. By design, the foil construction helps remove critical mistakes that people can make, leaving them with a hydrofoil that won't fly. The free hydrofoil plans are there to help you end up with a hydrofoil that works! So, If you're wondering if you can build a hydrofoil yourself DIY? You can!
