Plan is to get 1 or 2 rounds done tomorrow with balance of the comp to be completed next week, most likely Tuesday on the current forecast.

One day USA, one day you can join the rest of the world in Metric Units... Agreed!! But that's getting into a whole 'nuther can o' worms! (For a good laugh, you should see us debating "Daylight Savings Time"!!! :roll: ) Getting slightly off topic, Daylight Saving Time is GODS GIFT TO WORKING KITERS...

That said even something like a fastener is hard to standardize, would it be imperial and thus easy for the USA or metric and easy for the rest of the world? :D This one was actually a problem we solved in the mid '00s At the beginning of kiteboarding boards mostly used 1/4-20 binding and fin screw...

Thanks, started my notes for TechCsat #9 today.

Please keep the questions coming.

Cheers,

I still own a 2002 20m CO2, agree it is an amazing kite in this XXL class. Back in the day I would fly it on fixed 4 line on a waiman style pulley. Need to pull it out for a session again soon Cheers DK Old big kites previously owned: Wipika Airblast 16.4. 23.6m2 C-kite Naish V4. 25. C-kite Cabrinha...
