Where can I get specs on Flysurfer FDS???

I've got two Pulse 2's and a Speed 2 that I want to convert to FDS but I don't feel like paying the bucks for the kits. It seems like I should be able to buy enough line to do all three of them for the price of one flysurfer kit.

So...had anybody made they're own FDS? Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

I tried that but I didn't see anything regarding FDS. Am I just not seeing it or is it not there since the kites come stock with FLS?

for the speed2 , select the Speed2 model with FDS.

as for the Pulse, they have not made the specs for the FDS but I wonder if you could just make the same as the Pulse1 or another model.

The FDS usually attaches to the same points as A1,B1,C1.

I dont think it really matter the length for the the 3 bridles, the most important is probably the total length of the FDS line

I bought 1 FDS kit already made by John for my SA2 15m, and he added a mixer ball to the main FDS line so the total length can be adjusted. When I got it, it was too much long, so I reduced it about 3 feet by using the mixer ball. I dont think it really matter if there is a less than 1 foot difference from the spec, the goal being just to secure on it.

The annoying thing is when the main FDS line is much too long, then you get tangles too easy.

Clint,

Armin posted FDS Specs of Pulse2 in a different forum and I sent you the link.
