I have not been on in ages, so, sorry for the lateness of the response. I have a bunch of tricktails which used dynamic spars from about 20 years ago. My stash is about used up. I would replace with skyshark. However, about 2 years ago I was in Ocean Shores Kite Shop and he had dynamic spars, so I bought one for a broken Utopia I had. It has quite a different logo on it, but otherwise seems to fly just fine. They don't match exactly. Somewhere I have table for the two, but it is 20 years old, and I haven't looked at the current skyshark offerings. For Dynamic, it used to be if it started with a T it was a tapered tube and D was a straight one. T8's used to be the lightest and I heard that they were 2 wrap, while T10s were 3 wraps. I've only broken the T8's which were quite fragile. I've never broken a D tube. Good Luck. Brett -

Dang! Terribly sorry, been wrapped up in prep for the biggest kite event of my year, Cervia Italy, and spending quality time with my son beforehand... I'll try to get this taken care of on one of my planes tomorrow! Thanks for the nudge! -
Any news about the lucky winner?😉 -
Making this kite from scraps of a previous kite. This will be Kite #95 -
I've this kite HQ Salsa 2 bought used some months ago and received it with untied bridles... I found these sheets on the official website and searched online for info about bridles tuning and adjustments but everywhere seems common a three leg fixed bridles, here we have instead four legs (and i would like to know how are you going to tie them for example, i think i'm using wrong knots) and also how sliding knots affect the tuning because the kite also with strong winds doesn't stay in the air but stalls immediately and land... it's also very slow and unresponsive of the pulling... do you think I could convert this bridles to a common fixed three legs using the same length and start working from there? I mean avoiding the FL leg or also using a single line for O+A and leaving M at a fixed lenght instead of O+M and A at fixed length I hope to have been clear enough in explaining... I'm losing hope in seeing it flying, i'm wasting a lot of hours trying to set it up P.s. If there are problems with the image attached this is the link to the tech sheets https://www.invento-hq.com/myfactory/CustomUpload/374O357O340O370O356O369O350O328O365O373O356O365O371O366O350O326O364O353O327O/116736_SALSA_II_RED_Technical_DataSheet.pdf
