And what, pray tell, are the magic ingredients for a MiSsUL ?

If anyone gives a monkey's :monkey:

(I am bizarrely addicted to that phrase currently) I have decided on 3PTs for the lower spreaders, P200 spine and P100 leading edges. I just can't stomach the idea of yet more shattered 2-ply. I've just ordered another kite as a standard rather than a UL for the same reason.

Target weight is 320g, smack in the middle between the factory standard and UL.

So it'll be a Fury U then. :wink:

OK, I'm writing to myself here but.....

Target weight is 320g, smack in the middle between the factory standard and UL.

Now finished and it weighs..... 270g. :shock:

How the bloody hell did this happen ? This is only 10g. (ie; sod all) above the factory UL's weight and mine has P100 LEs (instead of 2P) and a dacron LE as well. 2Ps are allegedly 5g. lighter per spar, so there should be a 20g. difference right there, plus something extra for the lighter LE.

I'm pretty confident in my scale so..... anyone got a "real" Fury UL they could weigh for me ?

Either take weight off the nose.. or perhaps move it down the spine.
