Stylus P3


I hear that the stylus kites are easy to connect to fly as a stack. Im wondering how you connect them....by the bridles somehow im guessing? Or do you have to buy extra lines to connect the kites. Any input greatly appreciated thanks

Instructions are on the second page of the manual. Looks like you were only meant to stack P2s to other P2s though.

I tried... It was never much fun as they did not fly in synch. One kite was always fighting the other... :mad:

The P1 and P2 were meant to be flown as dual lines. The P3 and P4 were convertible from dual to quad line flyers. I suspect that (bridle layout) has something to do with which ones did well as stacks.

The P1 was a baby.... truly tiny. Folded up it almost fits in the palm of your hand. I bought a couple of kites from someone a while back and at the bottom of the tube was a piece of cardboard with the inscription "This is your bonus kite" The P1 was underneath that. I don't think it has the pigtails for stacking. I expect you might have been able to rig something, but that might have resulted in bridle/stack lines abrading the canopy, which I really wasn't up for.

ATB,
Sam

I've flown a stack of three P3's and yes they do tend to wobble. I attached two 50' tails to it and it really seemed to help. This picture was taken by Corey when I was flying in Pittsburgh.

I was just reading the manual that I have. And as indigo said it says you should only stack p2s. My manual says p2s and p3s. So they must have changed it
