I would love to add that to my Hybrid 5.5, but a 2-knot difference in top-end is not much. Too bad. Do they make a 3 or 3.5 meter? I had the 5.5 hybrid for a while and I did use them both, but the firefly is sooo much more fun to fly than the 5.5 that you would never take the 5.5 when you can take ...

You added the stiffeners yourself?

Yes - there is plenty of room between the ribs. The ends are reinforced with dacron tape just like the original ones, but finishing an inch from the trailing edge for simplicity.

EUR340 Selling a concept-air firefly v2 4m. Similar feel to peak 4 in same size, but reliable relaunch thanks to hybrid construction. In very good condition. Ideal range for foiling 15-22knots. Great for snow too. Has some extra stiffeners added for even less flutter. Kite only. Works with any 4-lin...

The thing with single skin kites is that while they might not relaunch in all cases, they are relatively easy to pack down in the water, or even reset and then relaunch. But kiting with an open-cell kite, I don't know. I guess the flexifoil blade crew can zimmerframe their way over to the computer a...

I've shortened a few chicken loops before by taking them apart and resplicing the loop line (old ozone, naish, best) Has anyone done this with the RRD bar? The whole chicken loop setup seems really big and clumpy. Asking for a friend with short arms. https://www.robertoriccidesigns.com/equipment/wp-...

Or directly pull on the line to reset its length ; works well, for example yesterday I have extend the rear lines of at least 10 cm like this, very easily on the spot if you have an attachment point on the spot while no other sting knot available on your connections Once a line has shrunk then I ha...

3 yrs, pretty frequently (5m most often in my set). Have you reviewed the condition of the plastic rods? With single skin kites, their condition is extremely important. You think so? The ones in the body of the FS hybrid are very low quality (quite thin) and are twisty even when new. I replaced a c...

Yeah I found it thanks: viewtopic.php?p=1194744#p1194744

so, change C knot +1.5cm and find a way to lengthen B by an additional 1.75cm (following mashimisha's recommendation)

What's the easiest way to increase camber on this mixer? You have to shift the knots... Easy enough I think. - Oliver I have not looked at it in a while and don't remember where it adjusts (A,B,C,Z) so I was being lazy and hoping for something like "shorten A and Z at the knot 1cm and lengthen B wi...

What's the easiest way to increase camber on this mixer?

Did anyone consider increasing more in the tips? Seems too s curved there.
