softnotes 0 #1 June 3, 2004 Hi all I have a Saffire2 with microline and a Crossfire2 with vectan. Vectan, I am told, have benefits over microline in terms of shrinkage etc. Now should reline time arrive, whould it be possible to reline the Saffire2 with Vectan, and will the flight characteristics remain the same? Go on..... venture an opinion.... Blue Skies SoftNotes "That's not flying.... that's falling with style!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #2 June 3, 2004 Try contacting Mel at Icarus. You'll find him to be more than helpful. He'll be able to inform you as to flight characteristics and etc. in regard to the two line types you mentioned. If you'd like, youcan e-mail me for the phone number for Icarus.
