Sorry I didn't get much of a chance to spend some time with you Rick, as you saw, the field was very active!

We have some pics too, and will post them tomorrow.

It was good to see you there Rick, so tell me, which bridle did you like better?

Hi Dodd,
Thanks to you and Chris for letting Bill and I hang out with you guys.

I like the Turbo bridle! Could be from the time I have on that bridle. i think it may be good to include both with the French Connection,you know how people love to tweak and have choices to set up a kite to suit their style.

One thing I noticed this weekend with the 3pt is that input seems to have to be just right to pull from a pancake to a fade or the nose wont come up into a fade....gets stuck with nose pointed down. Lots of kites were getting stuck in that position. Most of the French style kites use the 3pt? Never have that concern on the turbo bridle and I think it may add a bit of "fluidity" to the way the FC flys?

I had around 4 of 5 hours yesterday on the French Connection and I am still loving it dude!
