Hi again,

So I ended up getting a radsail pro 6m due to budget restrictions and I wasn't sure I could be able to handle a 17m LEI. I know a 6m is pretty big for a first kite, but I've been able to handle it fine. I've been kiteskiing twice with it and no problems so far (except maybe for the collapsing of it due to poor piloting skills). But I found it hard with handles and bought a bar. It is just a basic cabrinha bar and I'm sure it will work fine, but I don't know how to install it as no instructions came with it. Does anybody know of a site that has pictured step by step instructions? I've got the manual for the Cabrinha Sonic Snow kite, but am having problems understanding it (I dont think it's the same bar system). Anyways, if you know of a pictured instructions site, I would love to take a look at it (yes, I'm the kind of guy who needs the FOR DUMMIES books) Thanks for any info any of you have.
PS - I'm finally part of the club. I am officially addicted to kitting!!! :D

I've just started kiteskiing this winter flying a 4 and 6 m Radsail, using the handles. Seems to to work fine so far, I like the extra control handles provide. A friend has modified his 7.5 using the depower method shown on the first site above and it seems to work well.

Wondering if anybody followed the links and advice. What were the result ? Just trying to save some trial an error, would love to hear from the 6m radsail guy to see how he made out with the suggestion. The more I use the handles versus the bar the less I want to convert.
