Wayne Dowler Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Still haven't had the chance to try one of these! Missed flying the one at Lincoln City earlier this summer! Hopefully there will be one up at WSIKF to try! Then I can voice an opinion based on my own feelings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakechick Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Lam let me fly his ABS Standard today and I really like it! In the low wind we had, it certainly launched much more easily than my B Series Pro STD I had just been struggling to keep up. The ABS takes some getting used to, but just a couple of minutes and once you have the hang of it, it's great to fly. I had a bit of a hard time holding my inverted hover, but I'm used to flying with lots of brake, and Lam's kite was not set up like that. There were also a set of new handles attached to the kite which Lam just designed & made, so that may have affected my hover. They are quite different than typical Rev handles, quite comfortable, very lightweight, AND they have a built-in winder!!! In addition to the nice way the ABS flies, it has some other great features, such as no knotted bungees sticking out at the top & bottom of your verticals, or at either end of the leading edge. I love this feature because I'm often having to free my lines from getting caught in these "sloppy knotted sticking out everywhere in my damn way" bungees on my Rev. Hope this helps! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 Do we know, is the ABS using a polyester sail? If so, Icarex or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 The SUL I tried at WSIKF, seemed poly, but not for sure. Can't see nylon being used in an SUL of his standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rneiman3 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 It is a polyester sail & I do believe it is Icarex. I have 4 of Lam's ABS & I love them!! Also have a Fulcrum on order - can't wait to try that..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khsidekick Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think you flew mine Wayne and I believe it is poly. I know my Sul ATM and STD ATM are the same material, the SUL just has a lighter frame. Sent from my IPhone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yep - I did - on short lines, if I remember correctly! Probably the same material as the Pro Dancer too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khsidekick Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yep - I did - on short lines, if I remember correctly! Probably the same material as the Pro Dancer too! You know I don’t know exactly what material it is but I’m pretty sure it’s thicker than the PDSUL. I know with my duel line Kites the Lam Hoac SUL ATM is rated down to 3 mph where as my Sky Burner Solus UL is rated down to 2 mph. It’s seems like the material on the ATM Kites is thicker than the Solus Kites. Both are definitely quality Kites.
