Synergy Deca UL

[boomertype]

I recently picked up a couple of these, new, unflown, 1994 version, dynamite price. One had a crushed spar and the other was super dusty from being a display model before the kite store closed in 1995. I may have found a replacement spar and the display model was missing the bridle attachment points, which I have replaced.

Any tips or thoughts on these beauties. I have yet to get one out for a flight.

Interesting, they both come with an extra main spar that extends the wind range. So the wind ranges are 0-12 and 10 to 18.

You'll be applying a little less forward and reverse on Decas as opposed to the Rev series... It's a fine touch, and will take a minute to get used to.

I never spent the time to adjust, but I knew a guy by the name of Sandy Wagner who could fly the %#@$&@ out of it! Clockwork turns, slides, you name it.

The main place you'll notice a difference is that slides are darn near impossible due to the way the kite is designed.

Yup, my standard was the same way when I got it in 1992... I think that may be par for the course with Decas.
