Default RE: Foiling Mini40 Tri - My FireDragon Foiling

Roland,
cool foiling action! congrats to a well designed foil assist mini40.

can you share some details on the foils? what is the weight position? How much from the aft (or front) is the foils mounted?
Is this video with sym or asym foils? What is the length of the profile, what the thickness? 10% or less? What is the length of the foil itself?28cm or longer? What angle from waterline are the foils mounted?

I am asking all these details as I am also trying to find a good foiling setup and I find it extremely difficult to find a good generic setup that would also fit for regatta (round course) scenarios.

Many thanks for sharing any details.
Eric
