Venom front/rear line leaders


huge difference in the lengths..............the fronts are 12 maybe 14 inches and the rears are 4 to 6 inches max. Is this normal/standard? My Scorp was modified with longer rear leaders for depower effect Im guessing. Does this mod apply/work with the Venoms or leave well enough alone? Thanks...................

normal
rear are 4" pigtail

and the front "thumb tip to elbow" (thats how i measured it a few days ago)just freshen my front with dacron polycord (same as sleeviing)simple added a knot a few inches up on the front for stack setting,

really depends on the throw you want in the bar and where the stall point on powering all the way in.. the trim can compensate some but set for max effect without full in stall.

i think a level (parallel) leader terminus with the first full cell above the stick is a good point to start

single choice on the rear and 6" spread on the front maybe 3 knots (level in the middle ) and that plenty of range

the front leader maybe closer to 16"-17" again level set point and bar throw may vary across the models

and internally the rear can be adjusted for feel

off the cuff... equal length from the bar at full power and a level kite leader terminus keeps it simple and easily adjusted with trim

I found the pigtail specs and bar setups........the LE pigtails are 23 1/2", TE 4" for 13m Venoms.............Im flying my Scorp on an 08 Best bar and doing fine. Anxious to see what happens after shortening the rear leaders (front/rear line knots equal). I was asked about the depower throw on the best bar and its the same as the PL zero 4/5 and 7 bars, 350mm or 14 1/2 "..........................thread attached
