first (10 minutes) test flight of my 9m (2009). Very little wind so just setup and had a play.
my first suggestions :-
PU on depower rope - good idea BUT the mini 5th is going to wear real quick.
- Does it have to go through the bar?
- How about supplying a replacement with the kite?
- Ability to buy spares?
- Larger Hole in bar.
Depower strap - Gets stuck on max depower (Have resolved buy removing strap from D-Ring).
Depower strap - Not a very smooth action when powering / depowering - only works in little steps (Have used waroo's in the past and depower / power can be done in one smooth action).
Depower strap - Change buckle from plastic to metal - it may make the depower/power action smoother.
longer scuff pads on leading edge.
re-enforcing around the bridle attachment points.
ability to buy or suggestions for generic replacement items i.e bladders.
not tried this yet BUT - what happens if you suddenly get completely overpowered? there is no ability to completely flag the kite. Yes I can drop to mini 5th but the kite does appear to retain some power as its waiting for relaunch, but, in totally overpowered situation am I going to struggle to control this? Do I need complete flag out?..... will test!
