Bridle repair?
I have a similar issue to JADH.
I just got a free Blade 3 4.9m. ( thanks Saskalex ) it sits back in the window and seems to need an AOA adjustment. I am counting on getting local
help / advice before messing with it. It sounds like JADH has the same problem with his Ace. A Blade knock off.
So....
Does anybody know the specified bridle lengths for a Blade 3 4.9m?
Does anybody rework / repair bridles commercially? Fixmykite?
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.
Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

Doesn't seem to have the lengths but maybe this is of some help. I'd keep looking online. If you know someone with the kite perhaps they could
measure it.

Yes, FixMyKite does bridle work.
I believe John Elkins at www.powerzonekitesports.com as well as Tim Elverston at www.windfiredesigns.com also do bridle repairs.

Thanks.
I wondered about John and Powerzone.
I plan to meet up with a local who knows a thing or 2 . he happens to have a 5m Ace.
The early blades are different. They gather in groups of A.B.C. and then cascade together. The groupings all look good. It is just the whole AOA that
is off. It would be easier if they were gathered like the Blade 4 and up.
