P 4 curl ups


Is this the right spot to discuss P 4s curling up on jumps?

No, it's not, I just reported you ;) :smilegrin: :lol:

There's also the "Power Kite Forum / Flying Techniques - Tips & Tricks" section, but seriously I don't think anyone is going to ding you for asking here.

Scr3w 'em if they can't take a joke... and the horse they rode in on. :rolleyes: :saint:

Ask away.

ATB,
Sam

Your jumping with a 2 line kite? I wouldn't, I would use a 4 line myself. Thhe p-4 wasnt designed to use for jumping.



Appex buggy, Libre hardcore buggies.
Flexboardz. Blokarts.
PKD Century Soulflys. NPW's. Nasa Stars.
A few other less flown oddballs,
Line sets from 10" to 328" or 2m to 100m.
worlds only AQR that works.
North American distributor for PKD.

I think he is referring to a FS Psycho4(I recall reading somewhere he was switching his quiver from PL to FS).

Some more info would help. Land/Water?
Kite size and wind conditions.

I guess I could always post something to the effect, If i use a 1/2" bolt will the line droop more or less?

Tip tucks is the phrase you want ... you can (probably) tune it out with the mixer. And stop sheeting out so much when you jump :D



Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
