zagi si reinforcement

(1/3) > >>

luke:
hey all ,
            just purchased a jp zagi si, i opened the box to find there is no carbon fibre wing joiner included in the kit, it says on the instructions that just putting reinforcing tape crossways on it will make it strong enough.
ive had a look at other forums and most seem to reckon just bullet tape on its own will be strong enough  ???
are there people who had one of these kits before out there ???
what do you think  :?
i am hoping to use it for genearl slope flying, and some combat  :twisted:

billscottni:
Luke, If you intend general flying it should be fine with just the tape. Any high speed flying or DS (Dynamic Soaring) would need the carbon.

I flew a zagi for years in combat and general slope flying with no spar

luke:
thanks bill,
                   would it be enough though for a little bit of slope combat aswell ???

billscottni:
It'll be fine.

If you're worried about it a carbon tube isn't hard to get hold of. Most model shops have them or anywhere selling kites as a lot of them now use carbon frames.

But I'd fly it as is

luke:
thanks bill . time to finish it so  :D
