Hallo zusammen, moin,
Eric Legwaters (Profi im niederlandischen Buggy-Verband) hat im dt. GPA-Forum die Möglichkeit angeboten, auf einer non-Profit Basis Depower Waagen für Peter Lynn Vaporen produzieren zu lassen.
Derzeit sammelt er dazu Anfragen und mögliche Interessenten, um ggf. eine Sammelbestellung zu arrangieren.
Nachdem ich mit ihm geschrieben habe, kopiere ich hier sein Posting rein; auch den Link zum Facebook-Forum, in dem er weitere Details, auch zu den Schirmgrößen, nennt.
Der Preis für die Waage steht noch nicht fest, ab ca. 30 Interessenten kann es klappen mit einer Sammelbestellung. Rund 20 Interessenten hat er bereits
Der Umbau einer "traditionellen" Peter Lynn Vapor in eine "PL Depower-Vapor" gelingt ab 4,5qm und reicht bis rauf zur größten Vapor mit rund 16qm.
Bei weitereren Fragen wendet Euch gerne direkt an Eric Legwaters (- am besten in Englisch).

Beitrag im GPA-Forum von Eric Leegwater » 21.06.2017
Hallo,
This is a message from Eric Leegwater, the Netherlands.
Some of you may know me from buggyraces in Holland, Germany, Les Hemmes, Eurocups, European championships, etc.
I race with number H400 and since 18 June 2017 I am very proud to carry number H1
I would like to inform you a bit more about the depower Vapors :
In 2013 I started converting my Vapors to depower....it is a lot of work
to make a new depower bridle set : about 6 to 8 weeks per kite.
The original bridle set needs to be replaced by a new depower bridle set, including a speed system.
Finally begin 2016 I had all kites (4.5 to 16.1) converted and during these years I won several races with them.
Over the last months I have received many international requests for
more information about my Vapors that I converted to depower.
Many people have asked me if I could also make them a depower bridle so they could convert their Vapors as well.
I like the idea that many buggiers want to give their "old skool" Vapors a "second life".
However I am not in the position to make new depower bridles again...it is simply too much work and I am also very slow with it.
Therefore I contacted a kitemanufacturer in the Far East that could make the bridles in small numbers.
Once I will receive more info from this company, I will be able to answer all requests.
It is by no means my intention to make money ! I simply like the idea
that the Vapor gets a second life...It will not be as fast as the
current closed cell race kites, but is pretty close and a very good
alternative for riders that do not have the money on the latest race
kites. At least it will give them the opportunity to ride depower !
I hope the moderator will not see my post as a commercial activity.
If so then I apologize for this and will accept that this post will be deleted.
Rgds,
Eric
