Flysurfer chickenloop upgrade for older kites


Came up with a way to upgrade older flysurfers with single depowerline systems that had the "webbing style" loop and big red ball -pull system:

this is just like the Infinity 2.0 Push-away style, they will work for pulse 1&2, psycho1-3, speed1&2, outlaw, etc.

they utilize the same replacable 86cm depowerline 6mm thick that ties to the trimm strap

email if you need/want an upgrade

Does that have the 5th line going through the center and the thrust bearing swivel?

there is no swivel , but the depowerline can twist if you force it

the 5th line goes thru a separate hole in the red ejector plate... then you run the 5th line thru the metal ring. i'll get a closer pic of the back of the loop for y'all.

yes, literally you untie the old one from the trimmer... unhook the FDS ring, then remove the loop and depowerline. now you can tie on the new loop and depowerline then thread the FDS thru the red-hat and the base ring. done.

FYI i ordered like 4-5 more of them so i have enough now to last for a bit... lots of folks wanting a new loop and i was sold out. should be here before christmas
