My manuals talk about being able to fly the Speed and Pulse on handles. Unfortunately it only gets a mention.
I'm thinking about giving this a try on the 7m Speed. It's slightly confusing to me ? What would I do with the FDS ?
Has anyone tried Flysurfers on handles ? Any advantages or diadavatages ?
Can anyone go into a little detail on how to hook them up ?barnes - 24-2-2008 at 10:26 AM
I was thinking about doing that today in this disgusting lack of wind while there is snow on the ground.
The FDS will really be annoying. I was considering just connecting it to either brake bridal, and let it just hang with slack. Another option would be
to connect it to a harness in case of emergency.tridude - 24-2-2008 at 11:11 AM
I need to re read my manual! You can remove your FDS bridle and line but have you tried flying unhooked? Your 7m Pulse at 15 kts is awesome unhooked!
Just tweek the trimmer down to around 3/4 depowered and you should have a blast (if the winds are up a bit but not too much). The FDS and leash will
save you if needed!macboy - 24-2-2008 at 07:35 PM
There's a guy out at the lake that flies his on handles. Next time I see him I'll try to send him this way or see if I can get the answer to relay.barnes - 25-2-2008 at 06:27 AM
I'd imagine on handles it would be easier to fly on a lake. quicker turns, easier to fly in a small place. I'd be afraid to get into a lake with my
Speed, it turns too slow, and I'm not used to it.powerzone - 25-2-2008 at 08:12 PM
snowbird... you'd have to completely remove the FDS for handle use. its easy to do, just don't lose any parts.
should fly fine on stroped handlesbarnes - 25-2-2008 at 08:17 PM

Humm, seems like a ton of work but I'll give it a try on a light wind day.powerzone - 27-2-2008 at 10:32 AM
i'll only recommend the handles on the 7m speed 1.5.... the 10m has too much sheeting/bar-travel to where the handles wouldn't do much for braking.
