radsail question

madone66 - 14-9-2006 at 04:07 PM

I'm thinking of buying the radsail 2.4 but on all the pictures I've seen there doesn't seems to be any loops for a kite stake at the base of the quad handles. Can anyone enlighten me on the subject? btw does anyone have any comments on this kite or recomendations for another one with a similar price tag?:puzzled:

I don't know the Radsails but it's easy enough to make your own stake loops. Take a short piece of cord, double it over, tie a figure of eight knot at the ends and put the loop on the brake line pigtails with larS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-s head.
My ProFoils seem to like the stake loops out away from the handles- where kite killers would go- in order to stay on the ground.

thanx for the tip acampbell, I hope it works when I finally get my kite:lol:

I just loop the brake end of the handles over the peg, never lost a kite yet, some kites like tension on the front lines to keep em parked though, so a second stake to put the front of the handles around helps.
