![]() 80 LB Kevlar line is much smaller in diameter than, say, 80 LB woven hemp line. When you are flying larger kites, you want that line stretch to help deal with gusts or choppy wind conditions. Larger diameter lines, will probably have more stretch than smaller diameter lines rated the same line strength. Wind conditions can dictate what sort of line you use, flying with or around other people can, and should, be a factor. reeling in perfectly workable flying line to replace it with perfectly workable flying line doesn't make a lot of sense, if you want to maximize your flying time. If that was the case, changing lines could be wasting flying time, i.e. Probably done for safety reasons or just didn't want to change out lines when changing kites because the other kite(s) wouldn't have an issue lifting the line. Why is that? and what sort of rating do you normally use? Ok some of them changed kites several times from small to large but still nothing that would justify the choose of such a thick cord. I did see some of the really large inflatables require 500kg or more, but i am no where near that skill level yet I did try to gain the pull on the kites i have and cant get much past 80kg (160lb ish) so sticking to the double the rating for safety. I was thinking of staying with my 45kg (90lb) for the small stuff and going 150kg (300lb) as my newer mainline. Why is that? and what sort of rating do you normally use? ok some of them changed kites several times from small to large but still nothing that would justify the choose of such a thick cord. But at my first ever kite display last weekend I saw a lot of the people had much much thicker line and so i think a greater rating to it. I have just progressed to buying larger kites and these come without a line spool and I have bought my own, rated at 45kg (90lb in old english) which when i do a pull test is easily double the kites pull in a decent wind. Minimum period 1 week.įull information is available on request.I have only ever bought shop kites that come supplied with that small thin kite line, most of my kites are under a metre square of canvas so that's not much of an issue.
