^^ Thanks for the update. It seems wear rates on dyneema to dyneema contact is low as long as it is not moving fast enough under load to generate heat. Any idea how often the system has been flagged ? Mostly none bejond regular release checks (under load, to test this). I would say 20times or so at...
Hi Herman, had my thoughts about that during my hundred of tweaking hours on the beach with my old chinese foil kites. My personal result was, thats impossible with a ratchet configuration. Reason is the little margin for errors in mixer adjustments: Compare exp. 0,5-1cm adjustment (b/c Delta typica...
Safety in Use.jpg Hello together, here a little screenshot from the described sleeved microhole safety in use. I see no wear since the last 10 or so autum sessions. Remark: You see the 90° turn of the flying lines going through the Microholes first and then connected to saftey line on one side and ...
Hallo together, after long time (Sold my A15's in between, after clearance project of my cellar), I'm curious about the HAWK again. Does some of you know if HAWK has UL or Standard canopy (in nomenclature of pansh) , or Standard bridle (every line sleeved with bad stitching) or UL type (bridle is co...
Why using this plastic shit at all? A double sleeve does the trick (preventing slipping through safety system) : [/quote] It's to prevent the knot from getting beat up with repeated powered up safety release (example school setting, beginner, etc) [/quote] haha, ok... if you are able to have a safe...
Confirming Gunnar's post the plastic piece is a stopper that runs on the first 12m line extension. Talking with the team we're unsure how the stopper can cause a knot in the front lines. Can you share a photo of the knot? Our only thought would be some sort of freakish knot occurring when your kite...
If ordering an original spare part, make sure you get 'Size: RCL' (for Recoil bar). It is longer than the Trimlite one. Your other option is to splice a new bungee cord if the line is in good nick. A friend of mine did it few days ago - his very first time splicing kite lines. Thats interesting. On...
Stop experimenting....
If it works well and your back is not complaining, what you need is not a modification, it is just more wind and less free time to experiment.
Great answer to that question: What does a Kiter without wind?
