Just to seperate from the old topic.
To Powerzone:
So you think it is possible to convert P2 to have similar depower as Pulse or P3?
So if we proceed with this, I send you the kite you mod it and after a month I receive it? =]]] I guess I will pay all the shipping costs.

yep.... i'll mod it, you ship it... if it works you will be the first one with a p2.5
if it sucks, i'll put it all back to stock.

one more question, u mention u can put fds? is it 5th line? My only concern before proceeding is that it wouldn't become unfliable after.
Also do I need to send the kite only or bars and lines also?
I guess that's all the questions and lets figure those and then Ill send the kite to you. =]

yes the FDS is a 5th line running up the center and attaching to the middle of the kite. I did a p2 fds for snowbird awhile back on the 3-line stock
setup. so we know it works, but 4/5 line is better. FDS systems are $100.
the FDS is fully recover-able. just pull the line to get the bar back... this sets the kite up in a reverse-launch mode... then re-hook back in and
launch and go. the FDS is recommended regardless of if the mod works. it is a much more effective safety. all kites still can be reverse-landed with
the PSS or OH#### handles so that will be the same.

Powerzone did a bang up job on my Speed 1.5. I love the FDS because it fully depowers the kite (100%). This affords me the freedom to explore the
kite's edge because I can always go to my FDS if I stumble past it. I especially like it on the massive Silverarrow.
Most of the time, I can reride by pulling the bar in as Powerzone said. However, that's usually not my focus, as it usually saved my tail from a
nasty gust or wind speed increase.
Being the lone kiter here, it's great peace of mind since I'm always flying solo.
