To be honest I dont know. Its supposed to be the new bars, but I havnt seen an offivial document showing the new line set up. Its one of my main concerns about the new gear. Its gonna be 9 and 13 fury and 9 / 13 escapes. 9/15 phantoms, and my new 18phantom. Im worried they wont make it in time though since they are shipping them on the 13th

they'll make it.................do you need me to bring my Navi?

flyjump - 11-3-2012 at 03:37 PM

You might as well bring the extra navi. I know they kites they are sending but they havn't told me the number of control bars that will show up with them. I should know for certain on tuesday which is when they ship out from the factory in china. Besides the pre-manufactured kites that krug has and one quiver at headquarters, these will be the first full production phantoms in the world. They are rushing everything out to us so you will quite literally be the first in the world to try the new full production phantoms.

I havn't tried an LEI in a few years, so i'm interested in testing them out myself too. Its going to be a great time, i hope it all lives up to the hype

When is this happening?

flyjump - 11-3-2012 at 04:00 PM

March 23 and 24 on jekyll island. Come and join us.

Fly, your crowd at Jekyll Island is as good a test as there could be. Dedicated arc fliers with LEI experience, and those fantastic JI onshores. :cool:

I feel so special. :spin:

As for bars I'll bring my full quiver which includes 3 bars:

1 large PL 07 stock
1 large PL 04/07 retrofit that is close to stock '07
1 small 4.5/long throw/cleat-trim Frankenbar. Works great on m 10m.

If we want for bars we can move these to the P2s. If we have enough bars we'll have a Scorp quiver and a P15 to test against the P2s.

You can say that again! Have fun. I am looking forward to the report. I would like to know what the 18 Phantom will be comparable to in terms of LEI size and also how the Fury performs.

tridude - 12-3-2012 at 10:10 PM

AD,

Im thinking the 18m with a lower/5.6 AR, faster turning, on 26m lines should get going (170 lbs) in about 10/12 kts on my 6' Fish or Door. If its not attached to a buggy Ill try it on the water with a TT and directional................really stoked, thanks again PL...............

PHREERIDER - 14-3-2012 at 08:00 AM

Don , hampton inn closed out king only, so i hope NATE is in. or i can add a rollabed.

if you need a crash spot no problem.

any way, sensitive lot here , i'll keep the colorful metaphors to a minimum and try to control my hostile nature.


Ricardo thanks for the fresh gear drop at JI!
