Butch,

That looks...................awesome!

I like the DIY midpole snuffer- very nice.
Did I see the spin clew blocks mounted on the rear beam?
Have you tried a higher aspect chute that clets to the shroud area?

You obviously got the rudders to be parallel, they look good on there. Let us know how they handle. Probably pretty good.

Having made my own snuffer tubes, yours looks great.

Nice. How long is the spinn pole? Are you sheeting to the rear beam? What kind of chute are you running?

Current pole is 12'6". Last year I never could
get the Spi to fly right....made the pole 11'.
Too damn short blush

Yes, due to the size of the chute it was the
only place I could go.

What kind of chute are you running?

Its an early 90's Smyth chute. Even after having
it cut down twice its still a big SOB.

I will when my wife lets me have more money. . .
I mean, when I can talk my wife. . .
I mean, yes, in the future wink

Can't take full credit for that, all
I did was add the red widening panel
to an old N20 bag. Had to do that to
get the chute to fit laugh

Nice work. I can't wait to hear about how she goes.The N20 rudders are a great upgrade.
I still have the 15' pole and 475sq.ft. North chute that I used to have on my MX. It would go DEEP.I'll probably putthe kite on my trimaran.
