Hey!

You can find information about bridles etc. on our website: http://www.invento-hq.com If required by our customers, we send out bridle data as part of customer service but there is no regularly updated database.

Thank you for your feedback! Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Hi Michael

Thanks again for your reply.
I will check this during the next week end.
Ok let's glue in the spine then.

So, let's go for another question
As there seems to me that there are no many infinity owners here.
Why all informations about the bridle are not in the database of the site ? is it too still new ?

Anyway it s a tremendous kite, just some fix to be a real pro kite, but a very very good one

Thanks again for all your support Michael.
Best regards.

Hello again Oliver!

Okay first of all, I went into our production because I wanted to double check on the connector again and it turned out that it was glued all along. What I believe happened is that the glue did not work as well as it was supposed to for which I am very sorry!

The connector is glued to the SPINE, about 1, 5 cm in length. Please do not glue the connector to the other connector mentioned, as it gives the spine extra strength at this point.

Let me know how it goes!

Greetings,

Michael

Hello Oliver,

usually the connecting part is not glued inside the spine. You can, of course, use some glue to hold the connector in place.

Michael

What will be the best :

1 / glue the connecting part to the spine
2 / glue the connecting part to the connector ?

I thought to take the second option (in case of spine break).
Thanks to all

Sure it s a matter of price too.

I have been unable to find a diagram for the Dynamics. As soon as I can find some info, I will update the diagram.

Just a quick question : Does the inside connector of the spine (at the bottom) is glued to the "T" connector (where the lines of the exit edge are attached).

Cause yesterday, in flight the T connector (under the scratch at the bottom of the spine) popped out, that s make the icarex release and my kite made a lot of noise.
After a landing I ve inspected all the kite and saw the inside connector completely inserted in the spine, so I carefully hit the spine to make it popped out, I ve put it inside the T connector but I think I will glue it later.

Thanks again
Olivier

Hi Olivier,

wel well - thanks for the diagrams. We allways will keep in mind other material than dynamics.
But most interesting for us is to see where the Dynamic spars are placed in the Diagramm.

Also stiffness is sometimes a matter of taste. It's not allways the best solution to use the stiffest spar that is available.
An of course, it's a matter of price.

Dear All

Please find attached a link for the stiffness of the carbon, could be interesting for all.

Dear Alex

Skyshark 5PT and or icone are more rigid and do not bend as the dynamics.
That s make the kite more accurate and give more vitality to axel and or flic flac.
For exemple I got the lower spreader that were disconected once when I landed on both spike. okay it happened just once but I had to go back for reconecting them (of course I know how "build" a kite).
I think that if lower spreader were more rigids it could brings a lot to the Infinity.

Hi Olivier,

Dynamic isn't HQs carbon factory, but it's the most convient material in our production.
Also it offers a good cost/performance ratio.

I'm sorry, we do not have a specification sheet on the dynamic spars. I also do not have a link to more information.

Do you have detailed information on why do you think Skyshark or Icone spars are the better choice?

Best Regards

Alex

Thanks a lot alex.
I will check this for the weight.
Why always turning to Dynamics ? Is it the carbonfactory from HQ ?
I am looking for the informations about the differents sections of carbon dynamics in order to compare the icone, skyshark and dynamics specifications, do you know where I can find theses informations ?
I will surely enjoy my infinity, for sure.
The only regret is the dynamic structure and not skyshark or icone.
Best regards.

Hi Olivier,

did you have tried to move the weight on the spine a bit. Maybe that can help to bring back the Infinity a bit faster into a stable flight.
Regarding the lower spreader, you could try a DT18 instead, or maybe move the standoffs a bit. I never noted real problem so far with this item.
But I'll doublecheck with my kite in the next days.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback, and I hope you'll enjoy the Infinity a lot.

Best Regards

Hello Michael
I have seen my infinity in differents tricks (flic flac, yoyo, lazy suzan).
It seems to me that when the kite exit from fade position, it have a little latence time before it catch the wind again. It s not so much time, but it seems that the kite hesitate and take time before passing in normal position.
Most of pilot around me tried and thinks the same.
Sorry for my bad english, I was not speacking about the cross (as it is just a little hole and not an aluminium tube) but I was meaning the lower spreaders in Dynamic15.
The lower spreader are not straight as the stand off deformed them, and once you pass from fade to normal position, the lower spread bend a little and block the kite for a second or two before it came back to normal flight.
Anyway the infinity is a serious and lovely machine that I will not leave for soon.
My only regret is in theses lower spreader that I wish they could be in skyshark 5PT or icone.
Best regards.

Hello Ztrok!

Actually the cross on the Infinity is quite stiff and should not be too flexible at all. We have not jet experimented adjusting the crosses. Let us know your insights and we can give you feedback!

Hello everyone
I am a proud owner of the infinity kite from HQ
The kite is sensationnal and obey at every demand.
However, I would like to know your impressions about the crosses in Dynamic T15.
I feel they are too flexible and not so stiffy. Does anyone try to change the original frame as I would like to do?
