Fine choice is the Spur, one of, if not the most fun dual liner I've ever flown.
Congrats

Looks like an active leach line, same as on the TNT.

No you're right, it looks like two sets of lines, the right hand side loops left and vice versa. The black bead tightens/loosens the leech....smart.

I was trying to avoid pulling it apart while it's still crispy...but i think it's to stop the nock falling out.

My CKD Spur has arrived, fine looking thing it is too. I'll be taking it out for a spin tomorrow.i have a question...it has a line running from tail to the centre, not seen this before anyone know the purpose?

I think I'd heard of them, never seen one. I'd love to try the Ultim by Debray...might be another blind purchase.

Such a shame it's fizzled out. I do a bit of photography and am amazed how film is coming back, maybe kites will have a resurgence too.

Another "new" brand which is putting out great designs is Mugen Kites

https://mugenkites.com/

I'm reliably informed these kites are *impeccably* sewn ... you get what you pay for.

Lots of video on YouTube / Facebook - the designer is top freestyle flier, these kites are all very capable.
