Spotted this little trinket at the playground today.

I'll let your imaginations run with it.

Is this the new Phantasm? Looks like a carbon mast, new fuse (alum.) and connection but still retains the Infinity Foil.
Nice
Too late tough , I just sold my Slingshot gear and pulled the trigger on a new Mose's Kit.

Or is it the converter fuselage Jesper mentioned?

I bet it's the converter fuse. Far better attachment to the mast although a bit more drag. Wonder if they will come in different lengths. If longer, will the stab be too large?

Who is the owner? How long is the mast 100+cm, my best guess its a one of ,he has stock SS tuttle head and someone made a really nice fuse if you took that and put it on a scale how much weight difference compared to a regular SS with 90cm mast I think not much still really nice work.

1. Interesting hybrid of carbon mast with aluminium head.
2. I guess it is doable to cut the mast sleeve off the head and weld it to the fuse to strengthen the bottom connection. There was another report of a lost foil due to the bolts break off...

It's a 90cm mast same as the aluminum.
I picked it up and it is lighter how much don't know.
I know for a fact that this is a Slingshot and not a one off.
Again I know there's a lot of you who ride the slingshot gear that why I posted it.
I just I just thought this would be farther along in production.
Personally I ride Moses foils.
I'm still waiting to see the Phantasm in person or get to ride one.

Looks like the 2 bolts on the front wing are half screwed in. Hard to believe people forget their foils? My buddy did that once, and I called him to come pick it up.

I wounder if those scews that look loose are actually screwed into the fuse? Its obvious it's not a switch fuse.
I see no option for position C, so I can't see any point in having position A. Is there any where to mount the wing further forward like most people do for the infinity 84?

It looked like there was only one mounting point for the front wing. He was having trouble with the cap and screws and just went ahead and rode it like that.

I wonder if the fuselage is longer?
=========================================================
If there were multiple spots to mount the stabilizer; wouldn't that also affect the net downward force of the stabilizer. Its seems to me the farther the stab from the wing, the more leverage the stab would have given a fixed mast/fuse connection.
