Reef Runner

Only thing now, is I am waiting (nervously), for a package, that is now two days late

No offense, but it would break mine, also.....................

Yep, surely they will send something stronger than 55 lb..............don't you think ?

U N F A I R - FOUL !

Recommended lines for PowerBlast 2-4 (per Revolution) is 200# x 100'..........

You got it - Jockey's Ridge - actually just a little south of Kitty Hawk, in Nags Head, NC........... Everyone gets those mixed up - Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil's Hill, & Nags Head !

Yep, I'm an exclusive, USPS Priority Mail user, likewise. Shipped tons of stuff for eBay sales, as well as kite trades and/or sales. Never had any problems going out, but I did have one coming in (of course). All in all, I suppose they do a decent job, but there is always that possibility, for an OH NO Moment !

Hmmmm............ Something is amuck ! Hey Ralph, I think you got shorted on your Snapshot. Only 2 sq ft of sail area ? That's pretty small, wouldn't you say ps......I'm sure that's a translation error, because 2 sq ft doesn't match up with .6 sq meter ? Go figure.

I would surely hope so. It would be the right thing to do

R R That's it, I do prefer the longer lines. I'm just not into urban flying, or close quarters. I'm basically a cruiser, so I like to put it way out there, and cruise in the wide open spaces. I learned to fly on top of a big sand dune, with super winds, with absolutely nothing near by, and nobody in the way. I actually made myself a couple of 150 ft quad sets, just for flying there. I am often surprised, when I fly at other locations, at just how small an area, it usually takes to fly, but still, I prefer the wide open spaces, clean winds, and no obstructions. I did make-up a 35 ft, and a 50 ft set, some time back, but they just weren't for me. I didn't like them at all. My preferred length, or go-to line, is definitely 100 ft, usually 50# or 90#......... If I can't put out at least 100 ft of line, I usually don't even bother..... To each his own, I suppose, but hey, what can I say. My kind of flight deck:

Now wouldn't 8 - 14 mph just be perfect, especially with warm weather ! YeeHa ! My kind of wind !

I agree with Captainbob, call Prism and raise h*!!. That's just not right, Prism's own instruction manual, clearly states that the recommended flight line is 100# Spectra, yet their sales literature on the website shows 55#, so they ship the kite with a line that's approximately half what "THEY" recommend (?). Go figure !

Well, I see that the Prism website says 55#, however, most other websites, that sell the kite, say 100#. That too, is kinda strange. I don't care what Prism says, if it's rated to fly in 25mph winds, I still think you need at least 100#............(just my opinion)

I would think that kite should have at least 100# - 150# lines. If you were hitting 20mph+, you were definitely pushing the limits, especially if you flew it hard, in the middle of the wind window.......... Also, do you mean, that one line broke at the handle, and the same line broke in the middle, simultaneously ? That's very strange, to say the least (for a line to break in two spots, at the same time) Tough luck, to say the least

John, We've been working hard, on Captainbob, and just short of corporal punishment, we have just about beat him into submission....... He's come a long way !

You've only just begun So what's next, on the wish list ?

This time of year.........coffee would be good. I'm ready for SPRING & beer !

I was thinking that exact same thing..............

Ok Ralph, I have a Triad, but no "Flip", so I suppose I'll have to get in, and win this thing. I need for my picture to be just like yours. Lucky # 5 ~ ~ ~ I'm IN

Here, here (you said a mouthful there)

I think it would be way too cold, up there, Rob ! Revs like warmer weather

Yikes, you weren't supposed to hear that........... Go practice with those Pros !

You can always simply lark's head a loop of bridle line, around the Velcro strap. It will hold a tail, no problem... I don't think you would want to attach it, much above the very bottom of the spine. As for wing tip attachments, I've also lark's headed tails right above the wing tip nocks. Pretty simple to attach. Make a short loop, about 4" long, then lark's head the loop to the wing tip, and then lark's head the tail to the knot in the loop. Easy fix, and not permanent.

It's coming E A S T .............. (pretty sure of that)
