I will not run my UL-1 without the Air-Foil, this much I can tell you.
The untold story here is that after the new pads were installed, the ride got much worse---I kind of expected that as the clean articulation on the pads exaggerates the inherent problem with the mushy lines of the FG hull. The port side is always jumping out of the water and this motion will amplify as the run continues at WOT until a barrel role is commenced. After careful reshaping and lessening the AOA on the port side, the ride is better and calmer, and the video shows the improvement. I raised the strut a bit because the Air-Foil is doing its job. I did not post this in the Product Review Section since this is my observation and is not solicitated from the maker of the Air-Foil.
