Shanti Speed Lines With Peter Lynn Reactor II 3.5m?


Hello,

Just wondering if you guys think 65'/300# 65'/150# quad lines will work with a PL Reactor II 3.5m?

Cheers, Ari

Hmm, wish I could help but I'm not sure. I think it would under most conditions. They might break if flying well powered. I don't see the harm in trying as long as your not jumping.

It will work in lighter winds, but if you plan to get fully powerd up you will probably want to go a little stronger.

Yeah, brake line "slackness" is something you will have to tweak to your personal preference, by adjusting the distance of the brake leader knot from the handle. Too much slack in the brake lines and you wont be able to deploy the brakes at all. Not enough slack in the brake lines will make it difficult to get the kite to the edge of the wind window. Take some time on a day when you have some smooth wind, around 8 to 12 mph and spend some time launching the kite, trying the brakes, landing and adjusting the brake leader knots. The brake lines are at a good adjustment when you can fly the kite without any influence from the brakes, but can use the brakes to back the kite down to the ground. They are in good adjustment when you can reverse-launch the kite.
