Baller lkb Posted October 29, 2007 Baller Share Posted October 29, 2007 When I tried to set the redim to the numbers I have been using on my MPD(.760, 2.490, 6.835), it just didn't look right. The long straight edge of the fin's trailing edge was slanted (in relation to the bottom of ski) a lot. Seems like this edge is basically perpendicular to the ski bottom on every other ski I see. Anyhow, it just didn't look right. Does anybody know what's up with this?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted October 29, 2007 Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2007 Don't worry about the angle of the trailing edge. The numbers look right. Go ski!

D Wolters Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 John, During (not at) nationals MS sold me his 106 redim and we tried to get you to commit about using it instead of the 116What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted October 30, 2007 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2007 I use the 116 most of the time but a lot of skiers thing the 106 is better. The 116 makes the ski a little faster and the 106 gives a little more angle.

D Wolters Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm riding the MPD as well, Don't think I need any more angle (can't hold what I get now) Have you got the 116 Redim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 my daughter and i just tried a 106 on a D3 today, be it cold water, 55 deg, it did tighten the turn, even mine....she skied hers with no wing and I tried mine with the Schnitz mini wing, which is about half the surface area of a regular D3 wing and 1/3 of a Goode wing. I skied into some 35 off and it felt like there were more buoys for me, the water just got cold....good excuse. There was a bit of forgiveness in the turn, ....I wonder if one could run the fin a little deeper or more length for tracking/turning, or would that be counterproductive?...is no wing the way to go with a carbon fin?

Chuck_Dickey Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 "I'm riding the MPD as well, Don't think I need any more angle (can't hold what I get now) Have you got the 116 Redim? "I like what the 116 Redim did for my 67"MPD. Just like John had posted in his review of the MPD. I have the Schnitz mini wing on mine @ 8 degrees and am using John's numbers. As I recall, you were asking about the 116 several months ago, right? Suggest you buy one and try it, I think you like it. Use John's numbers and you will not have a problem holding on to the angle any more. The fin and John's numbers really helps the ski finish the turn smoothly and cross course very early.Also, starting to play around with the new 2008 Monza (only 2 sets on it) which has the 106 on it, great combo. WOW, what a ski!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep your eyes on this new ski for HO, different ski than the 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RS Posted November 19, 2007 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2007 Chuck, did they clean up the offside blues on the 08 Monza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller lkb Posted November 19, 2007 Author Baller Share Posted November 19, 2007 Chuck, do you think that the 116 on an MPD would work for a light person? 155 lbs...I know Horton says that the 106 is more appropriate for my weight, but when I tried it, I didn't have a great result. Also what numbers did you use?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Dickey Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I used John's numbers and the 116 redim. I weigh 165 and liked it much better than the stock MPD Gold fin.29 3/4 Front heel17.5 Rear heel2.485 D6.8685 L (tips).785 DTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old MS Accout Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Same gig as the 07 with better consistancy comming out of the molds. I was playing with new fin numbers that I got from Badel at freeze up here but I need some more time in the spring. They are basicly deeper and shorter. 6.820, 2.530 and .725. I was still at .700 when I was last on the water so I need to move it forward a bit next spring. It is supposed to hold edge better into your outward change.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Dickey Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Badel really promotes the carbon fin, are you on the CBR106?I got these numbers from Greg for the carbon fin. Same as what you wroteL = 6.925 tipsL = 6.820 jaws D = 2.520DTF = .725Wing 8.5 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old MS Accout Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I use a 106 from JTH and it makes a huge diff. I am afraid to put the old fin back on. I still have not tried 8.5 but will do so in springGreg gets his DFT just like the Goode style on the web page.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
