If your Moses is under-mount and the holes don't align you could machine a plate that extends just past the end of the GoFoil fuselage and under-mount it there.
That sounds like a lot of work. Just did a quick measurement from a picture based on the bolt head size that Moses uses (M6, ~12mm) and it seems the distance between the two bolts holes on Moses is ~50mm. May not be able to measure my actual wings until next weekend but it definitely looks longer than 30mm.

I think you mean the tail pedestal. If they don't match up you could machine a thin adapter plate and use the existing inserts on both wings. You could also make your adapter adjust fuselage length and rear wing angle .
Yes, I meant the tail pedestal. I'm wondering if my Moses tail wings would work. They're also two bolt though mount differently. Just something to play with.

The two screws of the tail pedestal have a 30mm spacing.
Thank you!!!

Could someone please share the bolt spacing on the GoFoil Pedestal? I'm wondering if other wings could be compatible; perhaps with light modifications.
Thanks!

Would I get more lift out of the M200/M280 with the new 18Wide Tail instead of the Maliko tail?
I'm absolutely certain you will. However it is a small factor and may not be detectable without back-to-back A/B testing. You would likely be able to feel the reduced drag (and increased top speed). I am also certain you would feel the difference in the "nose-up" pitching moment. Some might mistake this feeling for lift because it "lifts" up the nose, but it isn't lift - it is pitching moment.
I guess I should have asked if it would give me more lift in the absolute worst, ultra-tiny-small, wind chop generated "waves". Seems like everyone who loves the GL wings uses them to surf real swells the likes of California and Hawaii. I'm trying to ride stuff in the armpit of the Florida panhandle and find it impossible to even make the M280 fly. There's just never enough push from the "waves" to get going. When the waves actually get bigger, it's because the wind is nuking and I might as well be kiting or windsurfing because paddling into a 20mph head wind is futile.

So is a mallet still required to install and remove the wings? Can new wings be adapted to old fuselages? I’ve adapted a wing between old fuselages, not too hard.

I'm absolutely in love with D3O as a product. I have a pair of mountain biking knee pads with the stuff and it really works.
Those are some FUGLY d3o products! LOL Same here. I have some light XC knee/elbow pads for mtb. I usually buy them after a bad fall, then slowly phase them out of wearing as I get lazy and it gets hotter. Then the cycle repeats.

I've kite surfed with one strap on my surfboard for a few years because that was my preference. I kept my strap tight enough where I can get just enough foot for some leverage but not enough to jam it in there. Just tighten the strap where only your toes can get in. I always wear booties and they make releasing the foot from straps harder. Broke my left ankle while mountainbiking and wearing SPD shoes, didn't unclip fast enough while riding off a skinny. Got screwed for life. Swore I'd never ride clipped in again but I missed the efficiency and went back on clippless six months later. Back in the saddle clipped in for over ten years. It really depends on how much leverage you want. You can get hurt with anything that attaches you to these things but you can also get hurt without the attachment. Start out where you can't get the foot jammed up in the strap or try the hooks (I didn't like them). Ejecting has to be learned into an instinct and not a thought process.

I have two sets of GoFoils one with Iwa/Maliko big blue tail and one with Kai and small red tail. They all hum and whistle like CRAZY! The Kai is so loud that I feel embarrassed I may be bothering people on the beach a quarter mile out. I sanded the rears flat and it alleviated some of the noise but nowhere near enough. Strangely certain constant speeds and AOA on different wings reduce the noise. I haven't touched the front wings because removing them requires a mallet. I just try to ignore it, which is VERY hard for me as noises drive me mad! I've tore down and rebuilt my mountain bikes MANY times to find a creak then to find out it was a simple zip-tie rubbing on a weird place or something.
I primarily kite/wind surf these wings so I don’t get a chance to ignore the noise while not on a foil. There’s a few threads on kiteforum and seabreeze regarding the issue. It’s not a simple fix but it can be done.

Now we are in the ball park.
It's a horizontal stabilizer when flying but it's a fin when swimming and pumping is smimming. Any feedback as to how that works?
Not much details. Saw it on kiteforum http://kiteforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=196&t=2400362
