Especially if you give the first batch (100, 1000?) for free to your influencers...

From what I understand listening to several explinations by Adrien is that's not possible to have tappered profile on alu masts with the current type of construction, but is porbably possible to have redifine the foil section. Let's see what happens next.
Ignoring the fact that the best foilers at my local (who are litterally running circles around me) are on Axis, it still doesn't make sense to me to bolt up an aluminum fuse to a carbon mast and I don't understand why Axis doesn't start the shift to a full carbon set up... I've found that a tapered mast is not as important as a thin chord in terms of drag. That said, if I could afford it, and it made me competitive with the younger and better foilers, you bet!
aluminum is better suited that carbon for a fuselage. ask a materials engineer
