ant man Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 i made my own rev bridles so far i made 4 2 for the 1.5 and 2 for my supersonic they work great the purpose is so they would take the beating of the jersey share sandy beaches Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted November 6, 2006 Report Posted November 6, 2006 Anthony.. I'm confused... not unusal, but you made two bridles for each? Didn't they already have bridles? Did something go wrong with them? BB Penny Quote
ant man Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Posted November 6, 2006 penny i made 2 because i have 2 1.5 kites and and i made 2 for my supersonic i wanted a spare one for that kite i still have the stock bridles for both in light winds 3 to 6 mph i use the stock because its lighter then the one i made the one i mad is better for a moderate wind of 8 or higher Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Are they SUL kites? they must be if you are saying 8 mph max. Even the EXP has a 15 MPH upper range. I've never had a bridle snap or heard of one. It could have happened and I hadn't heard. Did you keep the bridle the same or modify them? BB Penny Quote
ant man Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 i do the same adjustments as they have for some reason the beach here has tough sand this is the first bridle ive had problems with i like this design better it so far holds up well bot kites are regulars but i do fly them on light winds my next plan is a blast bridle Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 You go boy! It's caps that take the most beating on my Revs. That and the mesh. Yeesh.. I'm hard on kites. BB Penny Quote
ant man Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Posted November 8, 2006 yea the mesh screen on top of the 1.5 does get weak after time for small rips i just use a tiny piece of tedlar tape i try to use the smallest piece i can to keep from loseing the venting however my vented 1.5 vents have never had a problem the only mesh problem ive had was the le on the 1.5 i too am pretty hard on kites and fly them in some wild areas its much more fun then everyday just flying 1 or 2 kites in a beach or field Quote
