  6. Exult The "rough handling" of my UL tube was all my fault. When assembling the kite I had one of the tubes tangled in the bridle. Instead of releasing all of the standoffs, I removed just one, when I went to pull the tube in question from the T fitting, snap went the tube in my hand. Lesson learned, remove all standoffs before disassembling the frame. As far as yanking and banking goes; that is my way of saying you can fly the kite hard with exaggerated inputs.
  7. When purchasing your standard Fulcrum, be sure to buy the UL frame as well to compliment the standard frame. That being said, the only pieces I have broken over the last 16 months with my Fulcrum are the Nitro Lite tubes which make up the outer spars of the UL frame. One was broken by gusty winds in the mountains of N.C., the other by my rough handling of the tube. Get yourself a spare Nitro Lite tube and ferrule with your order. There are two different diameter sail standoffs, qty 2 each, that come with the kite. You might ask for one of each size to act as backup in case you misplace them. All other frame components are sewn into the sail. The most important thing to remember with your Fulcrum is to make sure you get the tubes seated deeply into the T fittings on the outer spars when assembling the kite. I always assemble the kite, pop it into the air, fly back and forth a couple times, set it down and go double check the assembly to insure that the frame is seated deep into the rubber T fittings. I’ve enjoyed my Fulcrum. It’s unique shape attracts attention, I can yank and bank with it, and with the UL frame there is always enough wind to fly. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

  12. My first kite was a Symphony dual line, I can’t wait to try it as a quad. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  13. Simulator rig, bungee rig?!?!🤯 After a quick search for quad kite simulator, a piece of bungee, a swivel, and short line set, we were flying. Thanks for the inspiration and information.
  14. Sweeet! I cannot wait to fly such a "strange creature"
  15. Splitting of a rod on the leading edge of her full sail kite is exactly what has happened. I’ve replaced the end caps on the leading edge with the Freilein external caps that came with my OSKUSA kites. The rods that came with her NYM kites fit snug into the Freilein end caps. Currently awaiting a slow boat to bring me more external end caps to replace the end caps on all three of her kites. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
