FS Outlaw 6m (Kite has been Traded)

ride_wv - 7-7-2011 at 07:52 AM

For sale: A Flysurfer Outlaw 6 meter kite including the lines, bar and backpack - complete. This kite has no injuries (no holes, tears or repairs) and is in excellent condition. It was purchased from SecondWind (PKF member) and has been flown and thoroughly enjoyed, but is ready for a new home. This is a good 1st depower kite or high-wind option.

The cost is $450 shipped to locations in the U.S.

Can you launch and land this downwind similar to a Frenzy? How does the safety work? Like a P.L. twin skin? Thanks.

I couldn't compare the Outlaw to the Frenzy or twinskins, no experience with those.
This kite is an easy self launch and land, straight downwind when the wind is light.

From the Flysurfer site:
"The OUTLAW comes standard with the Front Line Safety and included you will find a Backstall-Line for the OUTLAW bar to activate the Back Stall Safety..."

KK-outlaw is set up with the FLS from Flysurfer, you pop the safety the kite folds in half vertically along the center, taco'd, completely flagging out. So, yes, it completely flags out like the frenzy would, but in a different manner. The bridle often looks a scary mess after going to safety but will nearly always shake out, something that should be familiar to any bridled foil flyer! (have not flown it with the backstall-line safety, can't comment on that)

Frankly this is quite the deal on a lovely kite-one with great graphics!

Thanks, quite helpful. Yeah they look so cool. Tide is where the moon almost crashes into the earth.

Point of clarification. 5th line FDS (Full Depower System) is where the safety pulls on the center of the kite and makes it taco.

FLS = Front line safety and I think that kills the power in the front lines and backs the kite to the ground on the rears (but I don't really know as my FS was set up with FDS).

FDS is not the same as FLS.

From what I recall when speaking to Second Wind about this kite (wanted to see if he would trade his Outlaw for my Pulse) he said the kite was set up with FDS.

This kite's 5th line tacos the kite in the middle like erratic says, Flysurfer says it's an FLS...maybe Joe made an adjustment to FDS, don't know everything looks stock to me? I nearly always land it using the back stall however, if the wind is howling I pop it and the kite is down then it's an easy reset.

I have a kite trade in the works.
