Without being charitable, exactly what do you think?CaptainCore wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 10:31 pmIt's fairly obvious what I think, but being charitable,iriejohn wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 10:22 pmWhat do think was the cause of the failures?CaptainCore wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 10:19 pm
Look at the pictures, there is no wear. Just failure from a single point load with the hint of a cut. Much as you might wish it, this is not a case of wear and tear, it's not even a case of failure due to defect. You keyboard warriors with all your experience... Know the square root of diddly squat.
That is the most logical explanation......since when it went kaput....the wind was only 15 knotsCaptainCore wrote: ↑Fri Aug 17, 2018 10:31 pm***** the line was snagged in a previous launch incident but didn't fail, and or failed the next time, but it was almost certainly snagged on something sharp to breach the woven outer and to sufficient depth that the inner core was also compromised in one incident*****

Really, what's this then?
And if he'd known he was apologising to one of Trumps childlike climate change deniers in the face of fake news I'm fairly sure he wouldn't have bothered.
Are you a Flat Earther and Creationist as well?
Just checking who we have here these days, that carbon credits thread was very revealing.

Yeah pretty much every other company stopped using these. The pulley wheel can be super sharp and cut through a bridle. They aren't made for kiting.
Kiting for 700 hours / 350 sessions / 3.5 years that's how long they are good for the pulleys and bridles until it becomes the time to think of replacing the whole systemtautologies wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 7:24 am

I don't think that goes for all of them, which is why I most brands use the sheaveless pulleys. Not trying to argue with you here, but you both might be right. There is no reason to think OP is lying, because the story seems plausible when you know that the pulley might be the culprit.PullStrings wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 1:35 pmKiting for 700 hours / 350 sessions / 3.5 years that's how long they are good for the pulleys and bridles until it becomes the time to think of replacing the whole systemtautologies wrote: ↑Sat Aug 18, 2018 7:24 am

Not 15-20 sessions / 30-40 hours / 9 months like complaining OP
