I tested the safety system in solid 12 to 15 knots of wind...
Preflight...I inspected the bridle sys and made sure it moved freely. Everything seemed OK...after I launched the kite, I went to test the safety release system. I deployed the saftey and the bullets/plugs would not move out of sockets .. which rendered the safety system useless.
After speaking to a rep, I was told that some bullets/plugs need to be sanded down to fix the problem. After closer inspection, I don't think sanding the plug would help. Maybe there was a small amount of sand I missed when I checked it out on preflight...but bottom line is "sand and recon don't mix"
I just want to warn you guys and gals that if you get this kite...BEWARE of any sand in the sockets. You may find the same problem I had with sticky bullets.
keeping the sockets clear of all sand is a tough order to fill... especially self launchinching. I hope with more dillegence in keeping sand out of system, I will have a better experience with the recon system.
Other than that...
The kite flies really nice, the control bar is great, and the recon system is a great innovation.
Good winds to all.

Dit is wat diezelfde aandacht zoeker later schrijft:
I Posted my comments after a first attempt using a new system.
We all know that first impressions are misleading at times.
Now that I have used it a few times, I love the recon kite.
Wat een dill weed! ik ben in ieder geval erg benieuwd en wil zelf zien of het werkt, en als ik het ergens kan testen en het werkt als belooft, ben ik verkocht!
