KiteKouple Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 There’s just something amazing about setting out 500 lb line on a 36 Sled. 7 sleds & 1 foil and counting... They just keep coming in after a kite shop visit... Anyone else feel the same? Island Life | UFUV | Kite Life Subscriber 1482 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'm just not getting that bug. Picked up a New Tech Sky Hook 60 last week. My second lifter if you don't count big Roks. Would you fly that on 500#? and were do you get your line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteKouple Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, 250 low end and safe would be 500. ( I fly tons of laundry) I prefer to shop local and have B&S on SPI, TX. Online brand for me is Premiere Braided they have the 250/500ft and 500/500ft.Island Life | UFUV | Kite Life Subscriber 1482 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I live with a family of sleds. There are some that live upstairs in a closet, the rest live in the basement. They are a reliable group, and can go from "in the bag" to "ready to fly" faster than Clark Kent could become Superman. I try to make sure they get plenty of exercise, and they seem happiest when lifting something. Since everyone can't fly at the same time, I have to rotate who gets to go to the park. If I don't, one of them might get disgruntled and start corrupting the deltas. And I don't need that to happen. ...again. For the record, I love all the sleds equally. And I'm not just saying that because there is one in the room with me now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteKouple Posted March 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 I’m tearing up with joyful ness, laughter and smiles at your post Kansas Flier....My goodness.... HUGE SMILE! It’s a family event for me if one comes out to play... They ALL want to come out... and it’s a two hour ordeal with setup.

mystainedskin Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Power Sleds are great reliable kites. I have and still fly a majority of the sizes.. Keep an eye on the rear spar pockets of the 36 and up.... I have had them wear out over time and abuse. Easy patch and back in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteKouple Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Great advice @mystainedskin I'll keep an eye out for that, I fly the sleds very consist (about every two weeks). Had the new one out today just brought it down about an hour ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
