Re: AV8 Teaser - Cabrinha

Very cool. I won't be there this year but should be back for 2020. Have fun! Wonder if there's a clever way to get the pro box onto the tiny dwarf craft. Nice to only have to turn two screws.

Re: AV8 Teaser - Cabrinha

Dave- making F2B this year?
This one is based off George's foil. Think he designed it, no? Any idea if its the same shape, less stiff due to the modulus of the carbon? near identical? He seems to be really really dialed in with his new stuff.

Before going to Grenada I found there wasn't great info on where to kite, so here's what I know now on returning from there. 1- Grenada main land - beach where the hotels are on the east side is sketchy at best.

Re: Stripped brass insert Sword 2 - how to fix

Guided to the answer. For future "strippers", here it is.
For the sword 2, you need an M6 Barell nut. 11mm diameter
Bigwinds has them - 888-509-4210
sounds like the way to get them out ideally is a hydraulic press or improv on a vise.

Re: Stripped brass insert Sword 2 - how to fix

Wonderful. Thanks! I happened to pick up a couple of them last week at http://www.bigwinds.com/ Phone them and specify that it is metric M6 thread (not 1/4 x 20) and specify the diameter of the hole (approx 9mm) that they fit in (it is the smaller of the two standard brass insert sizes). I think the...
