and I will gladly read you when you get the chance to test those kites!Nem0 wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 9:27 pmBeginning at 07.07. I can start testing 18m pulsion and 12m Soul on the water! 3 weeks ago I tested 18m Soul.aTi wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 4:52 pmSince you are comparing internal construction of pulsion vs soul: did someone already had the opportunity to fly both kites? I would be curious to hear about that since both kites seems to be aimed at a pretty similar audience (people looking for a more "mid" aspect ratio kite, with less perf but more stability, relaunch and ease of use).
I'm curious what will be the differences!
that might be a first difference: due to lighter (hence less "water repellent") fabric on the pulsion?Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 10:56 pmBack to Pulsion. A lot of people are discovering medium AR kite and promotting the first one they try like soul or hyperlink from major companies. Kitech frs is also good , not as expznsive as Ozone or FS, and the closest to LEI. Each has pro and cons. Pansh a15 (older) is a bit below these others but does a more than suitable job on HF and snow.
About Soul vs Pulsion I would conclude from my analysis and current temporary feedbacksincluding one kite teacher on foimkites: Soul is watertight longer when laid a long time in the water. Pulsion better in very low wind (loop boost and stays in the air in lightest breeze).
Fabric is flat, it is 2-D object. You can take any panel out of kite and lay it on the table, it is flat. Shapes of the panels vary considerably with canopy curve and camber of the airfoil.Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 10:56 pmKitexpert please ... read my message again and carrefuly. You are replying ot of topic of my arguments. Nobody said that panels are flat, obviously. We speak of setting the camber (in the range of 4-5 cm it is enough on a kite) and you say it will impact a lot more panel design at wingspan . Not at all , it is evident (while arc could but totally out of topic)
Nem0's post show and tell there is four holes at the TE of the rib. Of course no one thinks there is holes in kite itself Holes (vents) in the ribs are not a problem when correctly placed. There is room for 74 more vents in Pulsion 18m, but more could be saved by ditching that weird center air intake, one cell and some bridle line.Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Thu May 31, 2018 10:56 pmThere is NOT A SINGLE HOLE at the TE of the Pulsion. you are mixing kites. And it is obvious that a hole in the middle of the chord is a weaker point.
Ok I see. My 12m and 15m have none : I have a grid mesh instead. Maybe an evolution like the 2x double velcro purge at the TE. Maybe a 18m specificity I do not know.
