Peter Lynn's
newest ARC referred to as either the F or P Arc is SHIPPING NOW and represents Peter's latest conceptualization
in the Arc family. It is targeted for the expert market
and is designed for extreme air.
F Arcs are high aspect ratio-
the 1600/9.5 is 7.5, the 1200/7.5 is 6.5 and the 950/6.0, will be 5.5.
They
have more de-power than any previous kite we’ve produced. They are better upwind
than any kite we’ve ever made before, maybe than any kite anywhere. They jump
VERY well, especially hang time- hence the name. They are very gust responsive
and exceptionally luff resistant.
But, F Arcs are not for bunnies: Their pre-inflated
flying is not as easy as for the standard Arc range. Their water relaunch is
not as reliable- especially the 1600/9.5. It can develop a twist when nose down
in light winds which is difficult to get out. And -bunnies are not birds. Don’t
fly them unless you are safe and comfortable with being a long way up for a
very long time- because this will surely happen when you use an F Arc. They
are a high performance kites for expert users, not ever, in any way, a replacement
for standard Arcs.
