Powerhouse Blade query

Thu Apr 21, 2016 6:36 pm

Picked up a Powerhouse Blade, in very good condition, from eBay, for very little. Putting it together, I'm left with these long carbon rods which are attached to the inner stand-offs.

Where does the other end go? I assume somewhere near the upper spreader connectors, so as to add some strength to the stand-offs??

Anyone have a photo or picture to show where to connect these long rods?

Connectors on the US next to the LE/US connectors?

Nice color by the way, great find. Curious what you think of the kite...

Posted the query on my FB page as well, and Stephen Hoath replied with a diagram, showing a bungee or O-ring holding the long whisker against the LE/US connector. Will try that out.

By the way, I have flown a Blade before; fun in a good breeze! Team member has one, so we can soon fly them as a pair; should be a hoot!
