Hey there guys,
Just in regards to the setup. Ive noticed in some posts the mentioning of 2:1 and 1:1 setups. As my understanding is that its for strong wind and light wind setups. Was wondering if my kite infact has this option??
Or my tuning options for wind are just the wingtip 3 knots??
Also thinking of trying unhooked soon and was wondering where i should attach my leesh for the safest and most practicle option.
Thanx in advance
Toby
Also any other feedback in regards to this kite would be appreciated.
1:1 is the best just adjust how much bar pressure you want with the bridals and, DONE!!!
From memory the 09 doesn't have a convertible bar, which means 1:1 is your only option. Do you have pulleys on the bar?
I'm not a fan of 2:1. Too heavy. I don't think I've ever used it on my current kite.
This is straight from the Cabrinha - 2009 Switchblade IDS Powerdrive instruction manual
Manual can be downloaded from the cabrinha web site
thanx for your help guys, looking forward to trying unhooked. Will try attaching the leesh at both points and just see which ones easier for getting the loop back onto the harness.
im guessing that if you crash the kite you should try and attach the chicken loop again for the relaunch??
i just read the comments and i wonder why not clip the leash to the IDS release ring on the chicken loop.
Is that just for unhooked kiting or in general
i just wonder because it was shown me in my training lessons to attach the leach to the ring.
What coul possibly happen by attaching to the ring and what is the differrence by using the chicken loop.
I released several times the Quickrelease even for landing the kite and had never problems.
Just lucky that nothing serious happen ?????
