Nirvana bestabungs frage

    I need to reframe a Nirvana sail, and need some advice which spars to use. I have quite a lot left over Avia spars I like to use, can anybody give me some tips, this is what I have in stock :)


    Avia G-force SUL, UL and STD
    Avia Skinny SDS, SUL and UL


    Some left over Skyshark P90 and P200, but not enough for both leading edges


    Thanks in advance

    Hello John,


    I would use Avia G-Force SUL for the leading edges and for the lower spreader. The spine should be framed in G-Force std 40" shortened at the thin end (thin end upward). My choice for the upper spreader would be the Skyshark P90.

    I had a Nirvana framed with g-force UL in the leading edges and the Lower spreader. The kite had a huge Windrage, I could perfectly fly it at UL-winds but also at 30km/h.


    I really loved this frame but it had a big disadvantage:


    The lower leadingedge broke vrey easy by spiking or at a two point landing. Well, I´m a pupil, and after breaking 3 lower leading edges in a few weeks, I reframed it with skyshark.


    I think if you use Gforce SUL, the kite will be quite sexy :D


    In a few days, my new Nirvanasail will arrive and I also think about framing it with shortend 101cm G-Force spars.
    Thinking about G-Force Std in the lower leading edge and the lower spreaders and a G-Force UL in the upper leading edge and an excel1UL for the spine, makes my heart beat faster :D :-O

    I've seen Pepse flying ...


    So my idea would be G-Force Sul in the leading edges, G-force Std as lower spreaders and an Exel1 as a spine ...



    but I have an even better idea, just send me the sail and buy yourself a new one, so you don't have the problem to choose ... :-O

    Thanks for your suggestions, I think I will try the Mr. Pepse option with UL leading edges. I have some STD spare left so in case of breaking a LE I could switch to STD LLE's.


    @ Jens,


    Sorry, the sail and I are so familiar to each other, I think the stiches will come loose if we are seperated :):)
