RADSAIL HANDLES w/Encaps

Just a quick review of these handles.

After about 20 flights with them I do notice the nylon cord is beginning to poke itself out of its sleeves like a tumor (another picture to follow soon) near the bottom and wanted to enquire if anyone else has seen this. It doesnt hurt flight performance in any way but it does draw attention....

I have to say that Eolo has hit a home run with there EndCap / Winding system. It truly cuts break out and packing times in half. Im hoping more manufacturers will jump onto the End-Cap bandwagon and adopt Eolo's approach to flight line handling. The Handles themselves are beefy with lots of surface area to grip for those pendulum jumps.

All in all a thumbs up for a complete 4LINE kite control system.

As promised here is the picture of my back break line tumor.

It's really nothing against the handles themselves, this tumor is on the back end, which doesn't get used. Eolo's choice in line and I guess the knot they chose to use in between the two ends is to blame.

I'f I was inclined to replace my Handle lines, where do I get them, what are they called, and what type of knot do I use in the pipe?
