Here is my first attempt.. Hopefully I'll get them installed and tested soon. Once I get everything right I can sew and splice except where knots are
actually needed.
What do you think so far?

Expect there will be some experimentation involved, but looks good.
Hopefully, those are welded stainless steel rings and not split rings (don't want to assume).
I also expect quite a bit of trial, error and knot moving. The center knot will be the neutral position and the initial test position each time.WELDNGOD - 25-9-2013 at 07:07 PM
The high wind setting was my favorite.riffclown - 25-9-2013 at 07:10 PM
I did base these on both my Crossfire you flew and also the Flexifoil version's picture. I had to modify the Crossfire design as it isn't intended to
be removable. I still want to clean it up a bit as I don't like extra knots in the bridle area.. Just leaves more things to add drag and tangle lines.3shot - 26-9-2013 at 07:56 AM
Looks good! Can't wait to slap a set of these on the Acid Rage. That bright orange bridal will go great with the Flexi orange. Are you making matching
brake line extensions for your demo AAA?riffclown - 26-9-2013 at 09:10 AM
Actually, the ones in the picture ARE yours. I just need to tweak them before I hand'em over. You should already have the brake extensions I gave
you..
The ones I make for me will be orange and yellow to match my sleeving. I just have to figure out how to make them out of two pieces instead of one. 3shot - 26-9-2013 at 04:12 PM
This is great! Yes I have those extensions. They are 8 & 12" so they should work.
Now we have a custom line maker and a custom buggy maker in the Tidewater wrecking crew. Don't know where I fit in unless we can make kites fly on UPS
systems or 3000 pound batteries LOL. I can however, feed you guys all the venison you can eat :D. Have been known to play a mean fiddle and mandolin
as well This is going to be a good kite season.silvereaglekiter - 26-9-2013 at 05:09 PM

Keyboards and Drums here. The Kite Buggy Band is born... Now we have to decide practice or fly... Well so much for the band... Time to fly!!!loftywinds - 29-9-2013 at 03:47 PM
Guys. Sorry to butt in, but is this AAA system effective also for Flysurfer kites - in particular the Psycho III? Thanksriffclown - 29-9-2013 at 04:18 PM
Back to topic, I really don't know. It should work on any fixed bridle kite with the top bridles made as three independent rows plus a brake bridle.
Would probably not be applicable for a depower design.
Once I test and verify if they work as planned, I'll put instructions out on how to make a set.
This is going to be a good kite season.
