Sheesh T whats the yelling about.... I was talking about QR's in general, not specifically eclipse.

What I SAID was that I MISSED THE QR 3 times because I could NOT FIND it in time. The loop was either on the wrong side, too small to find, or I couldn't get my finger in it.

That's the problem we are discussing... that pull loops and little knobs on one side are hard to find.

1) You cant feel them with cold numb hands...
2) You cant count on them being in the same place every time
3) If you make them big and easier to find, you can accidentally hook into the loop itself preventing you from releasing the kite altogether.

These are facts and have nothing to do with opinions or specific companies.

Brand Loyalty should not prevent anyone from trying to improve a design especially when it's regarding safety.

We are all human and nothing is perfect without much trial and error.

BTW, all kites are designed and tested by riders!

I'll be out of town so I'll miss out on the Demo.

Dimitri agreed to consider a pull away system for 2009... so there you have it folks.
