Morning ( well on UK)
Got hold of a used infinity 99 wing on a levitator 160, was out Saturday, board was really sticky on water, was in pos B, going to try C, where should foil be fitted on track, seems front of track?
Another subject ezzy mast, do 60% and 91% mast perform the same, as 7m hydra on duotone mast seems slightly dead in lighter winds, when more wind seems ok, but lighter wind not so good.

Set up your foil such that the front wing is at the mid point between your feet. B, C, track, footstraps, whatever. Midpoint is where you want it.
Not sure about track position on that board but I kept the 99 in C vs B for i76. If you have to put your rear foot really far back on the tail to be stable move it forward a cm at a time.
Position C for the 99 for sure. Start with the foilmast in the middle of the track and if the board feels sticky, move the mastfoot (of the sail) back. I think with that foil you're actually going to want the foilmast at the BACK of the track once you're used to the setup. The issue is that the huge wing, if it's too far forward, will start to lift before you're going fast enough to stay lifted, and you'll get a lot of porpoising.
As for the Ezzy masts, the 60% and 91% theoretically have the same bend curve but the 91% is much more responsive to pumping.
As mention 99/84 in C should be very close to 76 in B. Unless you are over 100kg. People creative is an XL dude and he used to do something different with his infinity wings
I used this setup for several years. With the 99 I put the track as far forward as it would go. With the 76 I would move it back 4-5 cm depending on how windy it was. I am 90 kg and used 5 and 7 m hydras.
I had started with the similar set-up and there were many inputs by many foilers. You could visit these discussions useful for deciding your set-up. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Foiling/Slingshot-Levitator-?page=5
Hello,
I also have a Levitator 160 and 99 & 84 wings. I also put the 99 in position "C" with 99 the mast as far forward as it would go on the tracks.
My weight is 105 Kg, though.
