Thanks, Sean!
I finally have a 'reply to this topic' button! Thought I was goin' nuts.
Thanks, Sean - I owe you a refreshing adult beverage in a few weeks on Jekyll Island.
The JIBE is Jekyll Island's first, and the Southeastern US's only annual kite buggy rally.
It is planned as a loosely organized, informal get-together for kite-buggy pilots, but ATB/ landboarders, Blokarts and all traction and power kite fliers are welcome.
JIBE is now a NAPKA sanctioned event, meaning that there is no longer the need to register or pay for registration fees. Just join NAPKA for $40 and you can not only attend JIBE but any other sanctioned event in North America.

I was playing with the PL Crossover today - haven't used it much since learning to love the strop. Seems to do better with the larger reactors - was that your experience? Bigger kites worked better on the bar than smaller?
How is the axle attached? I need to use the seat straps to keep the axle on - simple, hasn't fallen off (yet). Is that part of the welder's modifications?
