12m Blaze - Lightwind Monster
Hi Guys
Here ia cool video of a friend of mine flying a 12m Blaze that I converted into depower for him. As you can see it works quite well. He had the entire
Bay to himself that day!

As for converting the Ace and Sprint to depower, forget it! The bridle arrays are all wrong to achieve the required A-B, C-D cascades needed to
install a depower line with pulleys.

Blake,
So do you think a FDS set-up similar to FS would work ?.
I rigged up a home made FDS based on the sketch: http://picasaweb.google.com/mdpminc/DePowerAndKiteControl#55...
Let me know what you think ?
