Re: Electric kite pump

Scoprega informed me there is no way to change the setting so I solved the problem by removing the back check valve on my one Cabrinha kite.

Re: Electric kite pump

I have the Bravo BTP 12 Digital. Great pump but I have an issue with the switch from high volume to high pressure. I keeps switching to high pressure too early in the inflation process. With the old analog models you could take it apart & adjust the tensioning so it would switch correctly. It's real...

Re: GoPro Kite Line Mount For Contour Cameras?

I just purchased a Contour Line Mount for my GoPro. So if I put the line mount several feet above the front line attachment point will line twists that occur during 360's etc. take place below the mount?

So in that case doing maneuvers that twist the lines are OK, when using a line mount.?

Best kite to replace SS TD3?

I will have to retire my TD3's soon & I'm looking for something with similar performance. I sail on lake with a short fetch that is pretty gusty, (I live right on the lake, so I put up with inferior conditions for the convenience of not traveling). The TD3 gives me a lot of range & eats gusts well. ...

Re: Kites for Kids? Shortest bar throw?

Dimitri & Cameron,

Thanks for the great video.Very informative, and nice to have a youngster narrate the instruction. We will be testing this technique next time out. It certainly looked very light, and Cameron manages to get it the JP launched easily.

Re: Kites for Kids? Shortest bar throw?

Thanks guys for all the great advice. My son flys a B4 in the winter which launches in a puff, but that's open cell. This is a great topic, the more info the better. When you are dealing with 65 - 80 lbs, and your own flesh & blood, all the parameters change. I just want to make the experience as fu...

Re: Kites for Kids? Shortest bar throw?

Ok, that would be great!.....we can learn from that. Thanks Dimitri.We tried everything. But we are not in the laminar flow of OBX. It might just be discrete to wind speed & our location Many times in the midwest, in the spring, in a large body of water (10+ miles across), wind is lower, at the lowe...

Re: Kites for Kids? Shortest bar throw?

You can probably get the Jr. Pro to relaunch in light winds if you can get it to roll up onto its back by either 1. swimming toward it 2. pulling the center lines toward you about 24 inches Once its on its back it should relaunch in kids friendly wind. That works for me with an Eclipse Nano 4 and a...

Re: Kites for Kids? Shortest bar throw?

Yea, I tried the reverse launch also, no love there either. I've been doing this since '99, and I fly foils as well, so I know most of the tricks. I guess there was just not enough wind. For some context, I was pretty well lit up on a 14 TD3 all day. When the pilot only weighs 65 lbs. the parameters...
