In Topic: Supersonic sail "bunching up" on LE

12 May 2013 - 10:29 AM

I don't think anyone has understood the described issue. We are not referring to the bungees that hold the ends of the vertical spars to the bottom tips of the sail. We are talking about the bungees that hold either end of the leading edge rod. In flight the leading edge material bunches up along the leading edge rod, not around the leading edge rod. I had an issue where the leading edge would actually slide sideways stretching one bungee and be not centered on the sail anymore. I tightened both bungees to hold the leading edge of the sail taut laterally and the leading edge rod centered. Swannie if I'm not getting it right let me know.

Hi all,
I've flown a 1.5 SLE for about a year now and just recently bought a Supersonic vented. I've only had it up a handful of times so far, but a couple times recently when I'm done flying I've noticed that the sail is "bunched up" in the middle of the leading edge. My first thought is that the bungies on the ends of the leading edge need a little tightening, but since this kite is brand new I figured I'd check with the experts before this n00b attempted such an adjustment. :)


Experienced this too on my sonic vented. Tightened the bungies with no problems. Interested to see if that was wrong.

We got back Saturday. It was a little disappointing in the second half of the week. Too windy. Had some great early morning sessions before things got kicking. Spent a bit of time with Cath and Eliot. Had a blast though, it wasn't work.

A brief update on my progress to make the new list public. I am still going through the old posts rebuilding the old count in the new format. It's taking me longer than I had hoped because life has kind of gotten in the way over the past couple of weeks. Apologies for the delay. Barton

All, I am in the process of developing a new Revolution Global Kite List that will capture the same information John has been compiling through this topic (i.e. number of kites between number of flyers), and also a breakdown of numbers of each model and an option for each flyer to have a link to a page that lists a categorical breakdown of their personal collection by Rev model. A few forum members are testing my processes to help me minimize issues once it goes live to the community. I am also working on gathering up the info from the 94 pages of this topic to keep from having to start the list completely from scratch on day one. Please give me a little patience. I hope to post the instructions for the new count in the next couple of weeks. Keep watching, I will post here and the quad heads topic on KiteLife. Good Winds, Barton
