  1. Maybe John can swap out a set of Natalies Legs for keeping us in suspenders for so long!
  2. Hi Folks. I have been following this thread with interest as i bought a Widow earlier this year as my first trick kite. I too had a hellishly noisy one till i took the advice here and fitted a leech line. Now the Widow is as quiet as my partners Wolf It certainly changed the character of the kite in that what i assume to be the tendency to want to over steer has increased. Tight spins seem to erm... over spin?? dunno if that makes sense. I am therefore wondering if the leech line is too tight. Having never fitted one before or flown a kite with the line added how tight should it be? and should it be fixed on the center spine or fitted so that either side can "equalize". By that i mean i currently have it double larksheaded to the spine so the line is static down each trailing edge. I was contemplating redoing this with just one pass around the spine to allow the tension on either side to balance out. Will post more soon when i have a bit more time in the air under my belt! Great thread guys! Nice to see a kite like the Widow being enjoyed and tinkered with for a change! Cheers
  3. oooooo...droool! Keeping everything crossed for another month is gonna hurt, but so be it!
  4. OOooooo nice! Just when i`m looking at getting a freestyle dualie to play with. But being realistic, i.e. more chance of finding a higgs boson in my back pocket than winning.... any thoughts on the HQ Maestro? or if that is a dubious choice what would be recommended for the £100 or under budget? Cheers
  5. any chance of a subscriber number update when you have a spare moment John?? Cheers
  6. Good Luck one and all! Random number generator + Dyslexia = i`m screwed... heh heh
