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 stringy fuse thing sounds interesting. Are there any disadvantages of using the stringy fuse compared to the regular KT fuse (weight, hydrodynamics etc)?
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
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.
