ant man Posted December 17, 2007 Report Posted December 17, 2007 well im stacking 2 blast.s and so far i like how things are looking .. i havent flown them yet and i used 200# flying line for stack line i just hope its not too thin and will cut up anything on my kites.. i will get out there and try them out and will have pics of them soon .. any advise will help too Quote
RobB Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 Hey Ant... What kind of a harness are you going to use for that rig ? Do you have an anchor to tie your butt to ? With the kinds of winds we've been having, it sounds pretty brave to try to fly not one, but two Blasts at the same time... I've been getting dragged through the sand by a 1.8 meter foil recently. I would think the 200' lines should be good for the flying lines in less than 10 mph, but maybe use them for the brake lines and jack the flying lines up to 300 if you're expecting alot of dragging and maybe some jumps. I think the steering lines on my bigger foil are 300#, and those have been strong enough to take me for a ride. Have fun, and be careful... I don't want to read about you in the NY Times... ~Rob.

Penny Lingenfelter Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 Our goal is not to die in a freak accident.. Hey, it's good to have goals. Watch it you don't tear that rotary cuff... You'll need them for future flying. BB Penny.. Quote

ant man Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Posted December 25, 2007 well here it is folks and i must say it is a true BLAST to fly Quote
Baloo Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 At least it looks like you are being cautious, the lines are attatched to that car in the background arn't they?? Looks like a fairly compact car, couldnt you have used your truck Ant?? Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 Can't the car fly them, while you take a picture of them "in" the air? We're waiting.... Merry Christmas! BB Penny Quote
MrDenny Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 Man those are some short lines to be flying a Blast stack? Of course your arms are probably much longer now. Quote
ant man Posted December 25, 2007 Author Report Posted December 25, 2007 mr denny those are just lines i used to set it up in my front yard to get a picture of them .. and yea my wife got me a brand new video camera so videos are comeing soon as well.. next plan im going to add a 3rd blast to the stack just to spice things up a bit.. im in this process as we speak Quote
Baloo Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 Still think you got the stack tied to the car Ant. If you are going to stack a third I suggest you definatly use your truck for safetys sake. Quote
ant man Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Posted December 28, 2007 shoot!!!! if i were worried about saftey i wouldnt have done this in the first place!!! i even re did my bridle stronger as the stock one broke.. now im all set this setup is the best ive done and the first rev stack i ever made.. but wont be the last!!!

ant man Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Posted January 1, 2008 flew it yesterday in a 17 mph wind man that was too much .. im going to play it safe and stay between the 4 to 8 range for now Quote
ant man Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Posted January 12, 2008 well here is the blast 3 stack and man is it a BLAST to fly Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 flew it yesterday in a 17 mph wind man that was too much .. im going to play it safe and stay between the 4 to 8 range for now hahahaha The post made me laugh. Probably because I can picture it. Ant? You ok? You didn't break anything? An arm, a neck? I've seen men twice your size go down in to much wind in a milisecond. Are you going to share what happened with 3 in 17 mph? Hope you're ok Anthony. I'll go look at the pic now... BB Penny ~picturing in her mind the picture of Ant with a cast on his arms. Quote
ant man Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Posted January 13, 2008 penny ill have you know my arms are killing me ha ha ha ha .. but in 17 mph winds a BIG no no .. but 4 to 8 so far so good and the 3rd one does add the punch thats for sure.. enjoy the pic Quote
Penny Lingenfelter Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Way Kite Kewl.. Are you sure we shouldn't change your name to "Tony the Tiger, or Tony the Flyer" My right shoulder is soar from indoor flying. I didn't fly this weekend to get it back in shape for tomorrow. 5 days of fun flying stretched it a bit I guess. Glad to hear you are ok. I'll bet it is fun. BB Penny Quote
ant man Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 thanks for the good words the stack is still in the tuneing process once i get everything going ill have some footage for sure Quote
