The new Crossbow looks really interesting!

www.cabrinha.com/

The new generation of kites like the Takoon Nova,Wind Wing Rapture and the Crossbow will revolutionise kiting as we know it!

That is relatively easy to do.

I cant really see much of an advantage though. There isn't much weight in a bladder !

Anyway,such a thing doesn't actually exist yet. So its a hypothetical argument !

Best have already shown that they are prepared to spin untold hype with nothing to back it up.

Please state your experience on these matters if you think it's so easy ?

If it's so easy why has it not been does before ?

Because Dacron etc. needs a bladder.

But,its not THAT hard to use a material to replace it.
Best haven't actually DONE this yet. They are only talking about it.In 2006. Thats a year away. If they can do it,why does the Hellfish have bladders ????

There ARE other materials with similar properties to Cuben Fibre .

Tim, you have not actually stated anything of credability on this subject... You have just made a bunch of claims on;

how easy it is to do

prove it ?
quote:

Cuben Fibre is not dacron !
quote:
why does the Hellfish have bladders ????

traditionally shaped kite made from Cuben Fiber would hold significant performance advantages over all other kites and this kite could be brought to market very quickly.

May be similar but are heavier...

It does not even have a one pump system !

Sorry you are correct I did'nt answer that part of you post...

We've only just figured out a way of creating this technology. Creating the "cuben fibre" came first and was easier to impliment into currant kite designs.

We'd rather push our kite designs instead of gymiks. Not knocking the "one pump" systems as they seem to be popular...

Why not just change the hellfish design to incorporate the bladderless feature? Seems its changing all the time anyway!Your marketing? is based on changing the design from the rev 3 proto.

Tim what the F**K is your problem?
Do you think brownee designed the kite?
Do you think brownee does all the marketing for best international?
If you've got some axe to grind with best, which you obviously do, why don't you f**k off to Kiteforum or go and talk to shannon best, I'm sure he'd be really interested.

Hahaha!

You will gain nothing with your anger !

Whats your problem ? Paid for a Hellfish,which not only doesn't perform,but its now obsolete ! Thats if you ever get one !

But when these outrageous fancifull claims are made,well,its hard to ignore them.

So,you can just send them your money,and I am sure they will send you a drawing of a kite !

Tim you have to be tripping ?
Not much weight in a bladder???, try around a kg+ in every LEI kite.
And the weight of the bladders in a big LEI is even more.
Why wouldn't kiters want to get a kite that was at least 1kg lighter, with no disadvantages?
It has to perform better, if it is lighter.

The Hellfish are shipping right now, we will have them next week, you might need to straighten up and stop ranting soon Tim.

My problem is you're a twat.
I happen to be a friend of brownee's, and I don't fly best kites. I have'nt ordered a hellfish.
I'm just sick of your raving against best when you obviously know f**k all about the whole subject of kiting.

I will have to ask again !



Go back and read my posts. Thats if you can read !

I made a legitimate post about the new flat kites,and of course Brownny had to have a go and change the thread to something about Best !I can deal with that.

Anyway,that turned into a debate about bladders etc.

Next thing,a couple of illiterate bozos jump in ,and express themselves in the only way they know how,a load of foul mouth abuse !
Thats when I answered your abuse with a few truths about the Best kites. First the Hellfish. The kite that appeared and then dissapeared even quicker! The other appeared as an ameuterish cad rendering. It didnt even appear ! Look at the drawing,it has no lines,no bridle,no attatchment points,it just suspends itself in thin air !Maybe its full of hot air,like you guys !

If you throwbacks can't control yourselves,thats your problem !
If you cant comprehend whats going on,thats your problem.
Are you like Hillbillys down there ,or what??
If your a friend of Brownner ,tell him to get off my case.Or wear the consequences ! If you want to turn my posts into best threads,I will happilly debate with you.

Excuse you TimothyLeary... I don't know what the rest of us did, but do not be so rude as to say something like that! That is stereotyping the rest of us based on like one or two people...

This is a kiting forum everyone... lets just keep it at that and cool off a bit! Have fun and just forget about it all... It's not like there's no wind! Certinaly wind here! 25-35 knots in Brissy ... too windy however

To have a debate you must first have two people talking real facts ? I was one of them ! who was the other Tim ?. You sertainly were not stating any facts. You were however making wild claims on, I quote "That is relatively easy to do. I cant really see much of an advantage though. There isn't much weight in a bladder !"


quote:

Again, false misleading statments by your self... The Hellfish did not disapear from site, it never has. In fact the final production model was completed and started shipping to the USA & EU warehouse's two weeks ago.

Tim, other readers/posters on the forum (residents of Australia) have have had enough of you comming onto our local forum and abusing everyone with you extremly negative posts/replys... There frustration with you has boiled over and unfortunatly they have been lured into your world of negativity... They will bounce back...

quote:
If your a friend of Brownner ,tell him to get off my case.Or wear the consequences !


Is this a threat Tim ?. Please tell us "throwbacks & Hillbillys" what you intend to do... In the Five years I have been kiting I have never once heard a fellow kiter threaten someone else, your a disgrace...

Sorry Elizabeth,I didn't mean to drag everyone down to the same level as Howly and co.
But you need to read as well. I made a post and instantly got into an argument with what seems a tight little clique.
My post was about the new kites,I was not arguing.Just trying to join in and post on the Forum.I guess,as an outsider,I am not welcome !Must be some sort of localism !

So,Hung Long (Is that a boast ?Is it a reference to your coque?Is it some kind of "in" joke?)

So,you admit to the local clique.I didn't realise that this was a forum for Aussys only! Pardon my blunder. I didn't realise that you were so xenophobic !

Locals only. I get it. (sounds like a hillbilly attitude to me, but lets not go there !)

I don't abuse anyone. I just post the truth to counteract the stream of false advertising that is rampant in forums these days.You know what I am talking about. Posting lame cad drawings of a kite,then talking about it as if it exists ! Doesn't it bother you that some people may see this and actually BELIEVE that such a kite exists?

Maybe even send money FIRST ?

You have NO conscience! As well as being Xenophobic !

Whats with the "threatening" comment ? There was no "threat"
I would think my statement about "consequences" was easyly understood. It refers to the truth being spoken to counteract lies.

I am not calling you a liar. But you handle the truth very carelessly.

You guys need to go and have and good long ****, sex or a good kite or something to clear your minds.
This thread is outa control, after reading it i think you've all been a bit carried away with your emotions. It's all about the he said she said bullsh1t. Waaa waaa waaa

Anyway thanks for the link Tim it looks like a very interesting kite.

PS - TO SET A FEW THINGS STRAIGHT,
A kite without bladders and bridals...
as Tim said..."that is relatively easy to do."
YES - Tim is RIGHT, but Tim it has already been done.
No bridals & no bladders in a kite - err that sounds like a Peter Lynn Venom to me......

You are right of course. The PL Venoms seem to work just fine !

The users of these and foils in general must be highly amused at the stuff going on here! At least they are staying quiet mostly.They could have a field day at our expense !

I called you Xenophobic.

I said you had no conscience.

I never called you a liar.

I did mention "lies".
Never said they were *your* lies.

I believe that you actually believe the bull that you pass on.

You are very guillable. Either that ,or you think that we are very guillable. Which is it ?

Hey Tim dont right off a CAD drawing of a kite, this is the year 2005. Just cuz its a computer drawing doesn't mean that the design hasn't previously been properly thought out and tested in a 'virtual' wind tunnel...
Cuz with the amount of kite designs they have to test, it IS impossible to make & test them all first, so they are tested on computer, the ones that make it from there are turned into a prototype for furthur 'real time' tests. By the time the kite gets back to the factory they have already sent off more variations of the kite to be built for testing. So some of the designs come back and dont even get tested.
The CAD drawing is updated until the final design is reached.
This design is one of Bruno's patents anyway if you know Bruno's input into modern kites then you would know he knows what works.
So it makes sense for him to give the patent out to a few companies or just one then after a while give it to another and eventually every company is using the patent. That way Bruno is rich & happy and each company gets a clear shot at marketing a new design for their kite range.

Anyway TL your posts really seem to have a negetivity about them and your attitude is very childish. I think you have some major issues in your life that you need to address.

Yeah,yeah!

More hypothetical excuses !

You know,and I know,and Brownie knows,that "cad" drawing suddenly appeared as soon as the buzz started about the Crossbow !So,please dont insult our intelligence !

WindWing already has the Rapture.(Good buzz happening about that to!)
Takoon has the Nova (sounds good to!)
Cabrinha has the Crossbow.

What has best come up with ?
A crayon drawing of a kite even they are giving themselves 8 months to come up with !
No specs,no lines or control system.
Only thing they are claiming is a bladderless leading edge.Which they haven't even developed yet.8 months can go by fairly quickly.They better get their **** together !

As for your comment about *negative* posts,go back and look at the heading of this thread which I started !
" New Safe Kite"
This was in reference to the total depower offered by the Crossbow.Which of course is a huge step forward in safety. If you think there is anything negative about that,well, there is something seriously wrong with you !

The only thing negative here is the need some of you feel to back up Hung Long on his never ending mission to promote propaganda about kites that dont exist.

So,get a copy of that *cad* drawing ( I am well versed in CAD,and to be honest,that is a poor example.)and pin it on your wall. In the meantime,we will all be flying a Rapture or a Crossbow.
