Pansh lines-trust em???

I snapped a power line on my Flexi lines- looking at them I knew it was time to retire them.
I am now flying on my spare Flexis- also getting close to retirement.

I forgot I have a set of Pansh lines that came with my Ace. They are rated at 440/286- more than I expected! I never flew with them due to their early bad rep.

Anyone fly with these? Can I trust them???

Are they stitched or tied? rough feeling or smooth? If they are tied and smooth than most likely these are the newer lines.

I haven't heard of anyone having problems with the newer lines (roughly a year old or so) breaking or anything. They will most likely stretch and be careful if you fly in rough terrain as the are prown to fraying easily if you snag them on something. I would say they are good as a back up, but compared to your flexi lines there is no comparison ;)

I used to have a 5 and 8m ace and lines stretched so bad on both of them. I would only use them as spares as a last resort. I never said F@$& that many times in my life until those lines kept stretching and ruining my flight time

I have had my ace for a year and flown the heck out of it. All on the original pansh lines that came with the kite. I trust them, as you can see :)

They did stretch at the very beginning a bit but after compensating for the stretch they are perfect.

Thanks for the input- DAKITEZ reminded me of the issues of days past with the rough lines and the issues. Mine are rough-therefore are good for tying garbage bags!

I have a set of those in the garage sitting on the shelf beside my kite bag. When I sold my Pansh kites I didn't even put them in for the sale.
