Hi there me again

Iv resently found my old ring flight
i stopped using it as the reel broke ages ago and never bothered to fix it

iv just opened it up and i havent got a clue what i should do; the reel doesnt retract anymore, looking at the insides of this what is it that makes it retract? im normally good with how things work, and fixing but this is mind boggling me.

Thanks
Sam

Hey Sam,

There's several different types of reel, and - in fairness - whilst yours may be repairable, the chances of anyone aside from the manufacturer being able to give you any useful advice are slim, I'm afraid

Rob thanks again man! Damn it i was gonna caniballise it for another trick!!
thanks, i must say it does look somewhat complex looking at it

Why not post a picture of it (the insides only to avoid exposure)? Then people may find it easier to help.

nice idea i didnt think of that thank you i will do

Why not take a look at a ring flight revolution by Dave Bonsall.

A fantastic piece of kit and more importantly, it doesn't scream PROP! Many pros are using these and some non pros too.

You are supplied with repair kit and also in depth tutoring on how to replace the thread should it snap. (mine hasn't after lots of use)

Do a search on here and there will be many reviews.

Or - for a cheaper option, with nothing to break or jam, perhaps consider Einhorn's Pro-Flite (you can usually pick these up, second hand, for a good price ) - sutra413595.php

ohhh yes Rob im in full agreement iv used Pro-flite now for ages! And it is fantastic!!



i was just wanting to fix this up so i can use it in another effect
