Dates Bro I need Dates!!!!
We will be in Fano next summer for most of July. The Kite flyiers meeting is in June so if you want to be here for that I won't be able to help. But

mmm... beach burn on the kite...
Cool vid! Looks like a blast!
Krohn1999 - 18-7-2009 at 01:23 PM
Ya I could have cut that out if the film but we are all human and make mistakes. The kite survived that is all that matters.
Today I put the camera up in the Bridel, the view from above is great I'll post it when I get a chance

Way to go Rip! Just what this forum needs! A couple of Dutch guys trying to speak german on there way to Fano.
But the shots are cool. I have been working on videos from the kite all week. Its not that easy. If anyone has Ideas let me know. My biggest problem
is getting the camera to not vibrate while crusing down the beach, and how to attach the cable to the lines NOT using tape (you can throw the lines
away afterward) but still be able to loop the kite without getting everythig all tangled up. I am using wire ties right now but if I loop the brake
lines normally get hung up.

Have you tried Velcro wraps?
Also how tight can you keep the cable stretched along the lines?
Haven't put a cam up yet so those are just idiot ideas.
Krohn1999 - 26-7-2009 at 12:37 AM
I've thought of velcro but Im worried about it pulling some of the small threads out of the lines. I have read that people have had problems like this
with bridle lines with Reactor. In the bridle itself I use electrical tape, wire ties would be a desaster, but the tape does leave a sticky film in
the bridle. I also had the idea to shrink wrap the cable to a set of lines but I think the heat that i need to get the wrap to shrink would be enough
to damage the lines, and I would not be able to use the lines for anything else.
Today the weather is looking good so I'm off to the beach to try some new Ideas.
