http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.as...
solid 3-6pm
ATB /water
main center line replaced with spectra 2.2???and dropped the center safety line for the front line slide. i am comfortable with the bar end slides.
little more speed and power, dragline decrease gives it up!
bars slides drops kite zero twist, stalled back,turn to slide side, game over.
the WRONG WAY bar indication...is present still and helpful. the otherside is gone!
o the blimp guys are still here. Pheed them daily ....positive things .

Phree, I don't post every time you give us an update but rest assured that I listen and try to digest every post you make. I flew the 12m Charger
today in the buggy but we didn't have enough wind for a proper evaluation. I'm sure I would need 20 mph winds for the 12 to even begin to think about
pulling me around in on the water. Made me appreciate the heft of my 15 Synergy with 19 Venom to fall back on if that isn't enough. I keep watching
the winds you are flying in as well. Keep up the blog.

Always interesting, much more so than watching golf on TV, though I must admit, watchin golf usually provides me with some quality nap time! I do
believe I saw a long distance shot of you riding on the beach yesterday, but I had been dreaming!

thanks guys ,
Y-connector, all same. just replaced the line and removed the red center slide line . kinda tidy up things. the twist thing was killing me, really
a distraction. swivels out tension on slack, the line is beefy and any deformation is immediately apparent.
the ball slide stop at the Y connector remains but will be dropped as well. canopy wobble and the ball drag ...something going on there. will add
old full four line bar and go without NAVI bar soon.
canopy center tension is the next add in
