I was flying my Deca I this weekend and had the misfortune of having one of the short "support" lines on the right side of the kite pull out of the little aluminum ferrule. These ferrules are pressure fit affairs that "clamp" to pieces of line together. It's a neat idea but it's not terribly strong in this instance... Easily fixed with some 'real' knots and some extra line... but not fixable at the beach alas... Joe -=- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
