Hi,



Synopsis:

Decided to go back to my favourite neighourhood corner to practice some Indoor Rev but sadly on this particular night, there was wind. Not wanting to waste my time flying the Indoor in wind, I decided to test a modification to my Custom BPro Standard outfitted for some extreme ur...ban flying.

Very simple mod. Skyshark P90 for the Leading Edge, 2PTs for the Verticals and 15feet x 50LB lines. The idea is to shave off as much weight as possible without any regard for frame flex and to use a suitable line length that gives me enough of a window but not too long that makes up and over and 360s too difficult. Verdict? It literally turn this into an urban machine!

Wind as expected, was very dirty. On and off with periods of gusts, coming directly off from the neighouring void decks. This setup handled it really well. Next step is to try incremental line lengths such as 20 feet, 25 feet etc and see how it feels.

You're an animal Daryl, I love it!

Can't wait to fly with you in SG.

Going to be at the Act3 indoor event end of July, beginning of August?

Thanks guys. I'm having so much buzz from this setup. Lots of lift and float. Excited to try to fly it in some ridiculous places.

Did you do anything with the bridle or was it standard B series?
Why not use 90lb line to tame the lines.

I'm not good with bridle tweaking so I left it stock, BPro stock bridle. Did thought about removing the bridle to test how it flies without one. Anybody have any advice on that? How it will fly, what do I gain or lose?

For indoor quad lines I've never really tried 90LB before. Only intention is weight savings and lesser drag. May I know what you mean by taming the lines?

I'm just learning indoors and I use 90# lines!!! Short lengths don't seem to mind the little heavier line and they're plenty strong, don't have to worry about breakage!!!

Superb!! Awesome flying.
Great sounding set up! keep up the good work, and post another vid again soon. Recommend a higher vantage point for the camera if possible for the next one.
