ever get that psycho2 back together?

My 10m Psycho 2 got completely messed up. Fortunately the previous owner had re-bridled it and left me the exact drawing above but with notes.

I am pretty clueless but found between using the drawing, inflating the kite fully to work on + the ease of taking the bridle off at the canopy with the lb rated break away tabs , I managed ! :wow:

My 10m P2 experience goes like this. I got it as I was just learning depower . I wanted it for land and water. On water I found it more poweful and slower turning than the C kite I had learned on. I crashed it a lot and would eventually lose to the wet material and water log. On land I found I was intimidated by it. It didn't seem to have a lot of depower and was not the kite for my lack of experience. I was always nervous under it. The last straw was when the 1st time I truly needed my 5th line upgrade , it failed causing the tangle descrbed above as it flew over a parking lot over a beach and stopped just before the river. I was however impressed with everything from the build to the ideas such as jet flaps. I was sold on FS quality but the P2 just wasn't for me. For people with good kite skills this kite served up well. My X instuctor that I bought it from enjoyed it very much.


Fortunately by the time I was sure the Pulse was selling second hand and I bought my 7m Pulse. STILL have it and maybe always will!
Flysurfer has improved in it's fly quality + reduced all that extra bridle and should not be judged by how the 10m Psycho II flies ! IMHO
:bigok:

I'm hoping to unroll it finally today and see what sense I can make of things. If not today, tomorrow for sure. Saw Mike's car last weekend but not Mike himself. If need be I'll get in touch with him.

Of all things, I got to see the 3 line system in person the other week. Someone was flying a flysurfer extacy. I only checked out the bridle for about 2 minutes, as I didn't want to intrude. Definitely is quite a bit different than the 4 line system I am used to.

I'm confident you guys will get that kite up and flying before long. Probably looks like a mess, but in the end it will be one huge learning experience.

Or a cheap kite for Macboy.....:wee:

I live in Seattle near where PowerZone is located. I worked with John at PowerZone on my fixed bridle kite. I managed to put a depower system on my fixed bridle kite under his guidence. It is not that hard at all. I would like to buy your kite if you are willing to part it away with a reasonable cost. I would like to get it fixed and enjoy flying it.
