this is an interesting thought and I think you are correct.. but my takeaway is to maybe try to fix the pulley lenghts to match the old ones.. then run the long mixer test and match to a dot...edt wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 12:26 amThe bridle tends to shrink about the same on all the riser abc and z. When you replace the pulley lines this will make both the long and short tests not work quite right as your adding some length to b and c by replacing the lines. You will want to shorten your b's for sure and maybe the c's a little even though this won't match your mixer tests.
as to porosity.. doubt it's that apparent in the first 50 hours when first set of pulleys fails..I even had a session when I forgot to close the valves and the kite was flying fine.. no wing tip collapses..
