 Mon Sep 01, 08 3:11 am Fuel front line attachment |
 |

Hi
There are some extra attachments on the front of the Fuel and I was wondering if anyone can give me a quick rundown of how it would behave on the different settings and how it should be setup best with the 5th if moving away from the front setting.
On the 08 13m I have 3 settings while on the 5m 07 I have 2, have kited with both kites and they are both great but curious what to expect from the front settings if I change it, I've gone through the 07 manual and this isn't covered at all, tried to google it and so far nothing. |

| the attachments will change how it sits in the window, the 07 maybe just missing a pigtail on one of your attachment points, i do believe that they had three, i always rode mine on the second attachment , sitting back alittle for more power, helped with wakestyle, hope that helps, LM |

| Thank you, I'll check again on the 5m, I flew the 13m on all 3 settings outside but the wind was very light - less than 10kts, it felt less smooth and more grunty on the back setting but I wasn't sure and couldn't tell if it turned slower or not and I just put it back to factory for the water when the wind picked up a bit since it was the first time out with it, didn't use any 5th line, I'll try it on the second knot and see how it feels on the water. When I used the 5m I wasn't gonna mess around since it was very gusty at up to 40kts and hauling my skinny ass, I was worried moving to the back attachment would reduce the top end. But on the other hand thinking with the 5th it might increase the top end since it can pivot more? |
