News!!!
The rudder assembly has been reworked to allow for a change in the pitch angle. I mounted two servos and mix them (V-tail program on the transmitter). You need two 624ZZ 4mm x 13mm x 5mm ball bearing.
I added a new set of back foils (symmetrical) as well.
The boat is much more stable now!
I think that if you don't want to add the relative complexity of a mixing servos, it should work just by setting up the proper angle and fasten it in place.
Thanks for your comments and I hope that you guys will build it, it's a great project!

July 26th 2015: This is my latest attempt of a RC hydrofoil.
The profile is a Naca 63-412 (both front and back foils). The back foil has a 5deg dihedral for lateral stability. It's in two parts, glued together, in order to print the part without support.
The foiler is actually flying but
