Desert Rat Flyer Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 My next Rev purchase is some diamond rods, So thinking about getting a SUL. Don't care for the SLE sail pattern, What options is everyone using? Read somewhere about Rev/Polo print sails are lightweight. Love some of those designs. How do they work as a SUL?

0 Flying Buckeye Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I was wondering what is the weight or pounds of the bridle line on the SUL (white bridle) ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 portlandflyer Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 SUL bridle is made from 90# flying line. That's why SR had a slipping knot - the line is slick. Putting a drop of nail polish on the knots will keep them from slipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 portlandflyer Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 You could just replace it with a regular stock bridle - only adds a few grams! Light weight is not the "end all, be all" for SUL kites. Wing loads, weight to sail ratio, etc, figure more importantly than just sheer light weight! Plus there is still technique! Lightest kite in the world doesn't help if you can't use it properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
