Another 'converting to de-power' thread...

Since the Prism Tensor is specifically designed with a bridle that can be manually adjusted to change the angle of attack, I wonder if I can rig up something to do this 'on the fly' (pardon the pun).

Not because I'm trying to create a poor man's depower, I have the Venom 19m in the mail. Basically just because I like screwing with stuff...coming up with engineering solutions.

In theory yes.... But a 4.2 m depower would be a epic high wind kite, my apex is a 5m depower.... And I dont know its top end lol

So, ya, you can, but you'll lose power
