Gospel. The handles have to give more or less the right realm of feedback or it throws everything off.
-
Not at all. On 2 counts. 1 - this handle is attached to the simulator rig I use during the webinars, it's tuned to balance against a bungee rig. 2 - even if it was on a flight knot, it changes a lot for me because I have various sets of lines with various amounts of stretch (top lines). I supposed at some point I should perfectly balance a set of lines and figure out what the "normal" knot range would be for me - been a while since I've done more than pursue balanced R/L bottom lines (by feel).
-
Black are the Pro leaders TK makes here at KiteLife, blue are the Djinn model - tad shorter on top, and more knots up close as well... Will be interchangeable (with a setting change) between most popular quad kites.
-
Aye, top deck of the Sync (Djinn) Bridle is proportionately longer than traditional bridles - both for performance, and so we don't need 12" leaders to compensate. 😇

Good video of @windpoacher somewhere, throwing his Rev off a cliff to have the same thing happen. 🤣

Alright, we've got three hot topics lined up... Hopefully we'll reach a point someday where I don't feel like I have to stress this - do not underestimate the depth of subject and gratification available in these online sessions, we've ALL been surprised so far at how quickly time goes by, how enjoyable it is, and the sheer volume of details and experiences that we were able to comfortably relate. -- KiteLive: Quad - Light Wind Theory (Apr 12, 1pm PDT) https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_4Vil8QW2Rv2BPYPYqFOcZg - KiteLive: Quad - Talkin' about Team (Apr 13, 1pm PDT) https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_T4Ub7zyZTESlURRYIVZAHw - KiteLive: Flight Vocabulary and Content (Apr 18, 1pm PDT) https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Z992K48kQiOWpERkft45EA -- Registration includes all members of your household, we are expecting a variety of seasoned panelists to participate in each session, and projected duration is roughly 2 hrs each with the ability to go longer if group enthusiasm dictates. I sincerely hope to see many of you in one or more of these sessions - its odd times, and the socialization does us good. 🤟

Traveler's tip... Use a little clear flex seal (spray and smooth over with cardboard or something) on the areas that will take the most abrasion... Just a fine smoothed layer of Flex Seal slightly rubberizes the fabric, and makes it much more durable, adds some water resistance as well.
