streetrat Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Im still interested with the hornet and read your article I also ask the seller site to send me a closer picture of the plastic bridle adjust but it wasnt a close enuff shot so didnt see too much. any time I hear the word plastic I get scepticle thinking it could be breakable and wearout fast or in short "a mickey mouse sorta thing but on the other hand we use many plastic parts on our helicopters if thier not metal so can you tell me more about this plastic part or send a better picture ---thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADKITER Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 The plastic CLIPs you refer to are on the leading edges and you get two for each side. One short and one long. The book tells you how to place them for low or high wind. I have only lost one clip in over a year with the kite and some big time abuse.

streetrat Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 thanx partner, so if ya wanted you could install a regular bridle right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADKITER Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 You need to go HERE and read the page... The website if you have the time, but for now just the page on the Dynamic Bridle. The Flying Wings Hornet uses this Dynamic Bridle and it self adjusts to your flying as you fly, so you can go from tracking to tricking without landing and making changes. I find it works great. The clips are your wind speed adjustments. The kite is a remarkable one in my opinion and I would not change the bridle. If I were to change anything on this kite I would add more slack line tricks to its bag. I admit that I am not that great of a pilot, but I can fly. I just could not get the Hornet to fade to save my life. I did, however invent my own way of entering the fade, so it did fade and really good too.
