My Drôle d'Oiseau Falcon has this 4pt bridle. Haven't seen it before. I see the activator line on the 2 tow points. But there appears to be 4 tow points. Anyone know the purpose of this? Thanks!
Went out for an early morning session today, sadly there was no wind. Pulled out the Pro Dancer Super Ultralight and was still able to get some things going so long as I kept moving. Caught a few of the highlights here. There's a few cameos from some of the thousands of mosquitoes that were also out flying this morning :)
During the summer we can deal with messy prairie winds of 20km/h with gusts to 40km/h. I'm trying to find a decent dual line to help manage these conditions. I appreciate that trick repertoire will be greatly reduced at the high end. Does anyone have experience between vented kites and strong versions? CKD has the Spur SE Strong, and SKD makes the Mohawk XS Strong. Both have solid sails and heavy framing. On the other hand there's various vented kites - Atelier has a number of these, there's a Benson Deep Space with venting, and Alphakites has some options as well. Wondering if I should be looking at vented vs strong.
Also on the vented angle there's two distinct styles. Some replace a whole panel with mesh, where others hot cut specific holes into the sail and specific places - any advantage to one or the other or is that more working around limitations of the panel layout? Thanks!
The sleeve I get locally is passable but a bit too thick for my tastes - making the knots bigger than they need to be. I recently picked up some line sets from KiteForge and the sleeving is quite thin - I'd love to get my hands on some. Anyone know where I could get something similar?
Thanks!
