Flightattendant/Elcapitano Aluminium

The Reedin Mast Aluminium is an aluminium foil mast for Reedin's FlightAttendant and ElCapitano foils. The plate is glued and screwed in two axes at the factory, so there is no play between mast and plate.

Reedin says a mast has three problems to solve: stiffness, speed and ventilation. The profile is designed to stay free of ventilation even in extreme wave riding, and not to hold you back at high speed. Inside, a centre web holds the two flange surfaces that form the profile. That makes the mast stiff while keeping the weight down. The flanges are joined at the end, which keeps torsion very low and gives a direct response to your input. A redesigned thickness taper keeps the mast rigid while staying thin where it matters. Reedin re-engineered the materials and tested many layups to find the best structure. At the fuselage end the mast sits in a conical box. When you tighten the screws, the tension is spread to all four sides of the box for a fully rigid connection. The angle of the side walls keeps the connection from getting stuck.
