SuperFly LLE dimensions

Tue Jul 30, 2013 5:49 am

Can anyone give me the exact dimensions of the LLE on a SuperFly?- the entire spar that originally connects to the ULE initially?

I've emailed Tim - but haven't heard back yet

Cheers :)

If you still have the other side you could always measure that one.

You might have already thought of it, but make sure (if it's not full length) you trim from the smaller end. Interface with the ferrule is the important bit.

First thing I do with any new kite is to take a piece of paper and measure all the spar lengths, all the bridle lengths, measure how far the fitting are down the LE, if the bridle goes above or below the fittings EVERYTHING - even take a few photos. Then when something breaks or you've played around with the bridle settings and it's gone wrong you have all the stock details to hand in a folder on the bookshelf. :wink:
