Cool_Aid_Guy Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Hey guys, I just got a new e3 2 days ago, and I’m just wondering if there is any mods I can do to make it fly better or just different?? pics wud be good 2 Quote
Must86 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Posted October 1, 2009 Hey Cool-Aid... Did you see this ... viewtopic.php?f=63&t=11894 Hopefully these mods will get it to fly better for you. I didn't like the way mine flew fresh out of the bag, messed around with the bridle a bit and it was a little better, but I haven't flown it since. Too little fly time to waste messing around with testing & tuning... I'll eventually get around to trying these mods, hopefully they'll make the kite fun to fly. Quote
Cool_Aid_Guy Posted October 2, 2009 Author Report Posted October 2, 2009 yer iv made them mods I just gota fly it haha but I was also wondering if any1 had tried to put a trick line on one? ino its probs unnecessary weight but it would be interesting to see how it goes with yoyo's because sometime my line gets caught under the standoff attachment point where u can like make it light or heavy winds and etc... ?

Must86 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Posted December 31, 2009 Hey CAG... Great job ! How about a flight report ? How did you mount them on the TE ? I am really interested in your Mod... looks like a great implementation. I would suggest checking your spine/center T junction. Evidently, the spine hole is a little bit too big for the spine, and is a point of weakness. Mine broke right there, and the spine shreaded the sail. I had finally gotten the kite to fly the way I like, or I got used to it, and a 15mph gust caused catastophic failure in mid-flight. I have to send the sail back to Prism for repair, if I ever get around to it. ~Rob. Quote
Cool_Aid_Guy Posted January 1, 2010 Author Report Posted January 1, 2010 Okay, well in flight its works great. After yoyo's, the lines sit nicely against the roll bars and it flyes like that. I can still steer it and go into multiple rolls without getting caught on the wingtip. I attached it to the TE with a small hole punch then put the sail clip in there. Then, for the LE I used the existing fitting. The actual bar itself is 2mm fibreglass. But, if you dont want to put a hole in your kite, you can use the holes already there for the standoffs but I'm not sure the angle will be right. I recommend this mod to anyone with an E3. I bought all the spars and fittings from a place called Kitepower. If you need any more pics or have and questions just ask Quote
