  3. You got the high side covered CB, your 1.8,with upgraded lines.
  4. It's all good. There's a lot of really great ideas presented. I've already made and printed mine up.. Hahaha
  5. Just keep it open long enough for a design better than mine comes along... Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  6. But no snow Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  7. Free version covers the entire Gulf Coast. Never not able to use it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  8. I use the free version. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  9. I've been using Wind Alert for years. My go to site for wind. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  10. Having owned a few 4D's, watch the nose crashes, the center spine will poke through the top. I added a small amount of electrical tape around the end to add extra cushion and make it less likely to poke through. It's an easy enough fix if it does happen though. Also, the center T is another weak point. I do know they "beefed it up" a bit, just be careful. I only fly mine when the winds are really light. If it gets up around 6-8, I've got plenty other stuff to fly. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  11. You will learn a few kitisms as you progress. 1.The best way to get wind is to not fly that day. 2.Another way to get wind is to pack up your kite. 3.Best way to get gale force winds is buy a UL or Sul kite. 4.Best way to guarantee no wind is buy a vented kite. 5.Sometimes we lay out an extra kite, just so we can pack it up to generate wind. Seriously, bring quite a few kites with you. Enough to cover all wind conditions so you can fly no matter what the wind is or isn't.
  12. When I stake my foils, I put sand on the training edge. But if you're not flying on the beach you can use a two liter bottle filled with water, a length of chain, etc. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  13. I like subscribe to the JB style of flying, tons of brake... Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  14. Unless you like swimming with your kite. : ) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  15. Exactly Scott. I'm having a hard time getting the kite parallel to the ground. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  16. I can't seem to get a flat axel. It just looks like a fast, forceful 360. What am I doing wrong? I've watched the videos and I still cannot seem to correct it. Thanks!
  17. Now do a dive-stop over water... very impressive! And when you really get good flying over water, dive-stop to axel. I'm still working on that one. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  18. I always do, but , the ONE time I didn't.... I was going straight back to the handles, but got called away... Got sidetracked... And it was gone Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  19. I didn't even hesitate, when I finally saw it, I just started stripping right there Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  20. It was either me go swimming or lose the kite, and THAT wasn't happening... Hahaha Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  21. Lol, yep. Warmed up. I'd have swam to Cuba to get that kite back! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  22. Always keep the leading edge down! I know this, and yesterday I made that mistake and my kite took off into the Gulf. Long story short, I had to swim about 50yds in freezing cold water to retrieve my vented pro with 120' lines and Snagless handles... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
  23. Beach and coastal flying has definitely spoiled me. I truly dislike inland flying. Fortunately, living in Pensacola I have my choice of premium beach and waterfront flying spots.
  24. All these designs are great. Mine is better... What I win? Hahaha Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
