Shipped in suicide mode?! Sorry but that does not make any sense. Before every session you should test the QR and when you put it back you decide whether you use the suicide mode or not - and that is independent of whether you are using an Epic or a different bar. I really like the Epic bar; the simplicity of the QR system makes it one of the quickest to reassemble. If you do not use the suicide mode you can put the QR back together in less than a second.deniska wrote:Also, the owner (a beginner) had the bar setup in suicide mode (de-power line ring going through the chicken loop). Is this how it gets shipped?
Here is the stock picture of the bar from the EPIC site:Evisu wrote: Shipped in suicide mode?! Sorry but that does not make any sense
Hello deniska and thank you so much for your input on the INFINITY kite. Every info helps.Poster: deniska
I had about 10 minutes with the kite a few weeks ago, riding a small twintip at ~10kts.
Doing side by side comparison with the Zephyr, it seems that Infinity had noticeably less power, about the same turn speed..
Also, the owner (a beginner) had the bar setup in suicide mode (de-power line ring going through the chicken loop). Is this how it gets shipped? I had to explain to the guy that this setup may get him in trouble...
When I was a beginner I had lessons with qualified instructors. I think it is common sense that you should only kite alone ones you have a certain level of competency. The idea that it should matter how the bar is shipped or shown on the web just doesn't make sense in MHO as this is such a common feature. However, appreciate that you are not trolling and don't want to get into an argument. Great that you took initiative and helped that dude! Would be good if more people would act as sensible as you did here.deniska wrote:Here is the stock picture of the bar from the EPIC site:Evisu wrote: Shipped in suicide mode?!

If you were a beginner and not 100% sure how to rig, what would you do after seeing this (main and only) picture?

I am not trolling.. just expressing a concern..
Took me awhile to convince the guy to rig differently..
