The KT gear has arrived in the far far west, and it’s absolutely been worth the wait! Really cool to feel how much things have leveled up with these new designs.
Currently have the Atlas 1130 for river / dock / light wind dw sessions and the Atlas 790 for prone and 15 knots + downwind runs. Also the Atlas 170 and Nomad 155 tails.
Below link shows the Atlas 790 front and 170 rear flying in 18 knots Perth bumps.
The 85cm mast shim value is +0.5
Thank you sir! I have a stringy fuse incoming for my omen nolimitz mast. Excited to try it out
The stringy fuse thing sounds interesting. Are there any disadvantages of using the stringy fuse compared to the regular KT fuse (weight, hydrodynamics etc)?
Any knowledge of a KParts Allure Mast fuselage for KT? That’d be a great system as well.
I haven’t received it yet. I’ll report back when i get it. It’s likely similar in weight and drag. There is probably some risk of a worse fit. It’s also slightly more expensive
Anyone have any reports on the Atlas 1340 primarily for dockstarts / beachstarts?
I bought a tail from ad3p and paired it with a custom stringy fuse for the takuma kj2 front wing and it was horrible. It had so much drag i never used it after the first try. Not sure if it was the stringy fuse or if it was the tail. The tail actually looked super nice quality and came with a lot of shims.
No 1340 reports, how about anyone dock starting the 960 or 1130? I’ve seen a short clip of a 960 dockstart on IG I’d love to hear more.
