  1. I found I wanted the extra brake on my "B" handles. I have JB leaders on all my handles now. Worth the investment to start learning one way. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app 1461179839.812881.jpg]

  4. It's dead easy to do. Can be done in a short time. Only NEED to do the bottoms but most do both. 1461073554.090158.jpg] Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  5. Nice review. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  6. I only have one tail. I ground the kite and take the tail off. I put the attachment point onto a stake. I go to the very end then "flatten" it out by untwisting it. Then just wind it up, hand over hand. The initial wrap is about 1/2 a foot long. Once I get to the mouth, I squish the tail and shuffle it so the mouth is uppermost in the bag. That way it doesn't get squished. I don't unwind to inflate, just attach and it does it itself. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

  10. I think there are some of Tim Bensons tutorials online from Trick or Treat. I'll have a look. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  11. Sequence of the Month is about putting tricks together to make a sequence. Not so much for the beginner but great for intermediate pilots. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCnrKTuyiyrMIGDHkuIpoD1w Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

  16. It's not that expensive, really. A kite will fly for hundreds of hours. Even kites used regularly can still can be resold for a decent amount. But, and there is always a but. It's pretty hard to stop at one. Once you start though, you won't want to stop. The community is truly excellent. I love all my kiting buddies all over the world.

  17. Shaking sand out of the LE pocket. Putting an "O" ring on the rods pushed up against the end caps. That's all I got... Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  18. Check with the airline about certain restrictions. One airline in Oz, reportedly, won't allow "string" in cabin baggage. Yo-yo or otherwise... Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  19. Baz just finished a batch if you want a new one. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
  20. Once a crack starts, the flexing of the rod will make it run. Worse case, poke a hole or 2 in sail. That can be repaired with sail tape. I wouldn't replace the whole frame as that, with postage, may cost as much as a new kite. What is the frame made from? Solid carbon or something else? Would you feel comfortable enough to get a piece of rod and cut it yourself. I'd inspect all the frame and just replace the broken spars. I know what you mean about hard to get parts.

  21. Without seeing it, no. A visible split can have an unseen fracture further along. Can you post a pic? Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app
