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.

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

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

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.

Sweeet! I cannot wait to fly such a "strange creature"

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

Thanks Wayne for your input and suggestions, I will certainly take them under consideration.

I was aware of the bigger 5/16" tubes and the different end caps they now use. I've had a chance to fly an XX and RX Spider sail and both of those have the 5/16" tubing throughout the frame. What surprised me with her NYM kites was the use of two different types and weights of tubes for the frames. Good news is that the endcaps fit snug into SkyShark tubes. I paired a couple of P90's with the 2 wraps and a couple P2X's with the 3 wraps. This brings all parts of the frames closer to the same weight. I also sent her off with a P1X frame set to try in the full sail and suggested to leave all SPRINGS in the bag.

My sister in law recently bought a set of Revolution New York Minutes with Reflex. She is new to flying and these looked like an economical place to start; great deal from Kent at Wind of Change. The Full Sail has 2 wrap tubes in the leading edge and a Reflex labeled tube for the vertical spars. By my kitchen scales, the 2 Wrap tube weighs 11 grams and the Reflex vertical tube weighs 18 grams. The Midvent has 3 wrap tubes weighing 15 grams and the Full Vent has 4 wrap tubes weighing 22 grams in their leading edges but both came with the Reflex tube which weighs 18 grams for the vertical spars. The other quad kites I've come into contact with had the same size/weight tubes for all 5 pieces of the frame. Is there any reason the vertical tubes on these kites differ so much from the tubes used in the leading edge and is there any advantage to having a heavier tube in the verticals?

Hello Hello. My brother and I will be staying at Carolina Beach NC May 6-10 2019. We are newish at flying quads and would welcome anyone willing to share any tricks of the trade. Look us up if you are in the area. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

I too own a Delta Hawk and a Hypnotist. The Delta Hawk should be fine on the #150 lines. I have flown mine in excess of 25 mph with the line set from my Hypnotist. You can always fly to the edge of the wind window when it’s gusting hard just to be safe. Add a tail to slow it down and put on a show. I was wailing on my Delta Hawk last week in winds above 30 mph with #220x65’ lines and a 75’ tube tail. It’s a great kite to have in the bag for days when winds would shred more mortal kites. Worse case scenario is you break some lines and have to upgrade yourself to some laser pro gold line. Get out there and fly it with intent! Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

The lure of winning a Djinn was the spurring I needed to become a subscriber. Good luck to all of those in the drawing.
