Wingfoil Stabilizer Tuning - A Complete Guide

A guide for adjusting your stabilizer, what to expect, and what adjustments to the way you ride for given changes.
Also some details on what a stabilizer does and some high level details on the physics behind it.
I've also added a cheeky little bonus section :)
Hope you find this useful!

Interesting. In my world, we discuss an upward stabiliser position as increased pitch ( for the stabiliser) as opposed to the complete unit, for which you would term a negative effect. Some of my friends get confused until this is explained carefully

Here's my simple-man derivation from your force diagrams:

Nice one, Pete. Great videos you do.

Found your content good . I am still new to wing foiling and use Armstrong kit with no shim on stab that gives max lift , have just bought a 70 fuse to help pitch stability but find even small movements it feels very loose . The stab is 232 with a ma foil any ideas on set up or me to calm things down .

What is the effect of the stabilizer in pumping ? Any. configuration makes the foil easy to fly ?
