Hello. I just purchased an ITW Hydra. All of the stunt kites I’ve flown (mainly Prisms) have had the bridles pretty much setup. On this one, each side has a long line that has a knot at the end of it. It knots into the line that attaches to the center spar and lower spreader. How is the bridle supposed to be setup? The assembly instructions only make mention of using the pigtail off of the upper spreader. Can anybody help? -
I will add that the Widow NG buzzing or roaring sound is relative to how high the wind speed is and how fast you are cutting across the power section of the window. I wouldn't call the frame particularly tough or sturdy compared to a fiberglass rod framed kite or one built tough for crashing. I always have spare rods and an extra kite to fly, cause I often break mine. -
Thanks Frob and CJay, fantastic insight and just what I needed. I think I'll go with the KHK Skycraper (rebranded Widow NG). Can't beat the price and your point on spare/replacement parts is well taken. I've only heard good things about KHK customer service so I'll go that direction. Also, I am looking for some good pull, love hearing that its loud and especially like the idea of having a versatile, tough kite to learn on. I've read on other posts that people feel fine handing over the reins on a widow to a beginner, which is something I naturally do when at the beach with friends, so thats another major pro for me. Thanks all! I'll probably be searching for a light wind ultralight sooner than later and will start my research here. David -
