hardie you were right , they were yoyo stoppers, couldnt figure out what the hell those were and looked like 2 extra elbow fittings-----------thanx
-
hardie, maybe im wrong but it looks like they put 2 on by accident, these are not the long black nylon pieces that fit between the l/e rods and material, am I misunderstanding??
-
just picked up a big bang and cant figure out what the 2 extra rubber spreader holders are for in the middle of the leading edges---------- can someone tune me into this??
-
dont get me wrong, flyin helis is no picnic and takes alotta skill not to mention countless hrs of tinkering also having to rebuild from some mishap, I can see thiers a lot to this kite thing and am pursuing it--cheers
-
hey fianally got some response where do i want to go? good question, right now Im flying several diffrent makes/models trying to figure out whats goin on and how each one reacts and why, then maybe I can better understand and have some direction. after flying model airplanes 35 yrs and copters for the last 4 kites have opened up new horizons and like the models, need to figure out whats what-------BTW everytime ya screw a copter in its an automatic $75 you can buy some pretty nice kites for 2-3 crashes!!!!!!---------------thanx for the info...cheers
-
is this a Q/A site?? did I ask the wrong question?? sure would like some input!!
-
maybe this question will help myself and others to figure out a comparison between 2 kites---------------------so what would be the diffrences between say the alpha+ and a prism quantum, plez be descriptive, hoping to get some feed back on this subject------------thanx
-
Ive had good luck with the quantum and seems have the right feel , atleast to me------was out in 25 mph winds yesterday, a little scary but the kite held up real well----------------cheers
-
ya might wanna look on the kitelife used kite page-----good luck
-
no problem with the lenthly explanations guys , any advice I can get is good avice, thanx
-
had the several diffrent kites out today, some are more forgiving re tight turns and some kinda slop around the corners, but then again I could be leaning on the corners to tight------------I like to do precise horizotal square 8s, vertical square 8s are fun too, not to mention wing overs--------------cheers
-
thanx guys for your "constructive input".........BTW I was the only one flying and yes I am surprised everything held up and yes , I was in complete control, just a little sore today!!!! cheers
-
"CONSTRUCTIVE input" is always welcome
-
HOW MUCH WIND IS TOO MUCH?? WAS OUT TODAY WITH THE BIG HAWWIAN AND PRISM QUANTUM, JUST ABOUT DRUG ME DOWN THE FREAKIN FIELD ON MY BEHIND AND I WEIGH 230!!! ID ESTIMATE ABOUT A 25-30 MPH WIND------SO TELL ME WHAT YA THINK, IS THIER SUCH A THING AS TOO STRONG A WIND???CHEERS.........
-
I wasnt aware re the light wind/strong wind settings would regulate the pull, lots to learn , thanx
-
ed, I just check settings from last flight and yes it was on the light wind side-----
-
interesting----------seems like some are aware but nobody seems to have a definitive solution, well we just gota keep on strokin till it gets figured out.... cheers
-
havent been flyin kites that long but already have many kites and am doing a few stunts, "being into model airplanes for 35 yrs " Im aware of wind behaviors etc... anyway, if ya dont like breaking kites ya might wanna try the alpha + I believe the leading edge comes apart when the ground jumps up at ya, other than that it seems to like a strong wind and handles fairly well, just my 2 cents worth
-
ive been flying an E2 for a couple months, beautiful kite and very well designed, however Ive been having a problem with it being too sensitive/touchy, especially in corners, seems like ya just tweek the lines a hair and it over reacts, is this a common problem for this model or is thier some adjustment I dont know about-----BTW its on 85 ft spectras-------------cheers
