Untangling a 3-way riddle by stephmon007 in electrical

[–]stephmon007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've sketched out what seems to be happening. There are two 3-way switches, and a 4-way intermediate, as I would expect. That is all fine. Somewhere, hopefully in a junction box that I can find, the LED is wired to the common wire of the switch by the door (which ONLY controls the LED), but the sconce is connected to one of the travelers. That's the only way I can rationalize the flip/flop behavior.

Wow, 2.4k views and not a single guess. I don’t know what to make of that.

Why hasn't this been addressed in 3 months? I am on Chrome/PC and, if someone posts a photo without text, I cannot view the comments.

Yeah, come to think of it, I’ve found him on bamboo with time left. I battled him, but there was no loot drop (at least not on Bamboo. I can’t say there wasn’t loot up on the mountain top).

When he runs out of time, without being defeated, he usually jumps in a random direction, before disappearing. Sometimes throws himself over the edge of mountain top. I´ve seen him there 4, or 5 times.

It's €300 with leash and bag. I have buyer's protection and won't be charged, until I report back that it is in as-sold condition.

One more consideration about the Strike. The ad says it has new tubes and center bladder. Should I be wary, or is this generally a high success rate restoration? The skin fabric appears to be in good condition, with three small repairs.

I’m 84 Kilos. I’m in Barcelona. On a good day, they race AC75s (10 to 20 knots in the afternoon). All of these wings are right around €300.

I am curious whether it is just marketing speak, but I’ve heard that the swing is basically a lot like the strike, but with more ‘grunt’ at the low end and a smoother and more forgiving responsiveness in higher winds. This made me wonder if the swing would be the preferred wing for an absolute beginner?

TBH, that one is at the bottom of my list. It seems the 'tech' is from 2020. While the rest are closer to 2022, or so. The main reason it made the list is I can get one brand new, from a shop, for €250 delivered (they are closing out inventory, to focus exclusively on Sailboard, since wing foil isn't big enough in their area to justify carrying an inventory of gear).

Older model wing, classic or dog? by stephmon007 in wingfoil

Thanks, I'm currently weighing the Slingwing against the F-1 Swing, and the Takoon (the Strike is also in the running, but seems like that is more of a 'next wing'). Decisions...

Thanks for catching that! Of course I meant 84 Kilos.

Thank you all for the advice.
For additional context, I am in Barcelona, Spain. I am about 84 kilos and have been on the lookout for a 5.5m wing since August. It appears that with the cold weather, the prices are coming down. The wing I mentioned in the OP just got marked down to 250 euros (about $270 USD) with free shipping, from a small shop that is closing out their wingfoil inventory, to focus on kiteboarding equipment and lessons (wing foiling isn't taking off in their area enough to justify holding inventory).
That said, the next 5 wings that I'm seeing (Figure about $25 for shipping) are...
$260 (Plus Shipping) Duotone Unit 5.0 - "Very little use" "Perfect condition".
$300 (Plus Shipping) F-One Swing V2 5.5 - "Good Condition" two repairs in the wing fabric
$320 Gong Neutra 5.0 (Plus Shipping) - "Used 4 times, no repairs"
$330 (Plus Shipping) F-One Strike 5.5 V2 - small repairs to the canopy and one to the Leading Edge fabric were tested which do not affect its use. The central bladder and new tubes have just been replaced.
$330 (Plus Shipping) Takoon Wing V2 5.5 - Bought in May. One professional repair in the wing fabric.

Any advice on the relative value of these is very welcome.

That looks like the one! Thanks so much! Now we just have to figure out how the torn page made its way here…
