smegg1 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Flexifoil Sabre 9.5m with new safety system as on the sabre2. Have recently fitted with new pulley lines and depower lines, safety and chicken loop with plenty of rope left for tweaking at both ends. One of the bridle lines has been snagged splitting the outer core so could do with replacement (flexifoil or any other place with slice lines could make a replacement), however is flyable as is. I can chuck in a strong bridle line that can be adjusted to fit too. See pics below Canopy http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2178/2486211039_5b39b24f1d.jpg Split in outer core on the 'C' bridle line http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2267/2487027136_cda9dd1ce6_m.jpg Have flown like this for a while, but would be wise to replace either with the thick bridle line I can throw in, or get an identical made up. Small hole patched up, the only one I have noticed in the canopy http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2026/2486211625_2dee282c8b_m.jpg New pulley line with room for adjusting the knots http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2288/2486212345_e5f534a80c_m.jpg Bar and leaders all good with the newer safety as on the new Sabre2, large neoprene cover only to make things neat as I have left the addition length on the depower rope for future adjustments http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2199/2487029772_8f4724af57.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2160/2486214599_405a929188_m.jpg Kite comes with a thick bridle line to replace the damaged one, old chicken loop and safety system, bag and wrist safety leash if you want to fly without a harness http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2173/2486213831_bac82c35ea_m.jpg Looking for £175 + p&p Happy to negotiate price for local pick up Quote
