just wondering, how is it so radically different from newer switchblades?Beardytello wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 1:23 pmToo old to be really worth anything I reckon.
I wouldn't even have it taking up garage space for free.
I wouldn't know the technical differences of kite / bar manufacture over 10 years.dkazhdan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 4:17 pmjust wondering, how is it so radically different from newer switchblades?Beardytello wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 1:23 pmToo old to be really worth anything I reckon.

Dude seriously? Apart from the kite's habit to invert and hover, it never jammed and if your main line snapped you could still fly on the safety line. And if you snapped a front line you could still safety the kite.
Yeah seriously. Those two are pretty big negatives that are more probable than the unlikely variable of having to fly the kite back with a snapped line. I haven't snapped a line so I can't comment on flying it with a busted line but that may be one minor positive. Sure IDS kept the kite rolled onto it's back, but I've never had an instance where I wish I had IDS vs. a single line flag. I've never had a single line jam on me while deploying either so your experience may vary.Kamikuza wrote: ↑Tue Mar 19, 2019 8:45 pmDude seriously?

Honestly, single front safety is a step backwards.
