10 MPH I can fart 10 MPH lol. No worries. I'll wait for some of the good stuff. I have the info on the other sensor but I wasn't sure where its located and how acurate it is. Thanks though.

Elli..... you are right.... Too bad the sensor was down... I didn't get out until 5, but stayed riding till about 6:15 or so...
I ordered a 14m Turbo Diesel... imagine what I could do with that... I'll have to wait till the end of the month for that... I got my 10m today though...
loserdavies.... I am going to have to invite you over on one of those windless days so I can get out and ride the butter... 10mph is 10mph

Andy, I tested out the std today. I love it. I did have to play around a bit with pigtail configs and I am not sure it is the right way. i emailed ss. I actually took a segment from the 3 that are on the steering bridles on the kite. I see what you mean about the length being too long. I couldnt reach the flagging ring without dropping the kite first and then pulling in 2 handfuls of kiteline. Also, my pulley doesnt swivel! Damn it! I didnt try putting abunch of twists in it but I tried taking some tension off the lines and assisting it, nope! Needs a bearing. I think it would help if you did multiple rotations, but i am not there yet.

I saw you playing on the beach today... It's not purple, but the black and burgandy is good looking.... Anyhow, now that you have more time one it, what did you like about it? Is it just the bar, or the kite? Also.. if you don't like that long thow... you might want to limit the throw like I did...
Man I love STD's.... I hope to get more soon

Most people don't like them at all and end up having to go to free clinic or doctor or something....
