peter lynn chicken loop fell apart

thelaserman - 11-9-2009 at 08:22 AM

Just bought a nice v2 19m from this forum, the kite is in excelent shape, the lines were still bright colored, and everything look great. I flew it yesterday in around 6mph, looked down after 20min, and the tube part of the chicken loop had just fell apart. It is an pl07 bar.
Does anyone know how to fix this, and where to buy a replacement loop? I would like to use the kite this afternoon, so i am thinking of buying some tubing, sliting it open then tapeing it on the line.

Could you post a picture perhaps?

picture wont help at this point. I cut the rest of the plasitic off so i can make use of it in the mean time.
Essentialy the black coating on the chicken loop, where it attaches to the harness broke. The line inside was intact and had no issues.

I have the same problem on Guerilla II bar chicken loop.
How did you solve the issue?
