HO Animal Bindings on Radar Sequence Plate / Pro Ski Coach Water Ski Forum

mgb · #1 Wed, Jul 9, 2008 7:07 PM

Got my new RS-1, cant wait for some sets on it. Do you guys know if the old school Animals will fit on the sequence plate? I have a stash of the animals from the old Phantom days but does not look like the holes will match up.. I have them mounted directly on the ski now with the original HO pivot plates.

never mind the animals on the plate, that was just expermental thinking. got my first 2 sets last night. 28 & 32 off was just riding the ski and man it is fast. 35 off started getting broke on off side and wheelie on onside. 38 off pretty much the same. I have some tweeking to do but I like how fast this thing is.

try bindings back a hole or take out 0.010" length.

thanks Chris, Im back all the way on both bindings. I went to .755 2.490 & 6.842. 35 & 38 off was better. I did skip out a few times on off side only. love the speed to make up for mistakes. im skiing 34mph. 175# 5'10" on a 67 RS-1. I was thinking to go 2.502 on depth. should I go length also?

Chris, Boots are older style animals and all the way back. rear to the rubber is 17.00. front 23.25.

that was a typo on my front, my feet are not that small....

can you do your best to tell me where your front heel is?

mgb · #9 Mon, Jul 14, 2008 1:10 AM

my front heel is at 29.25" the ski is real close with the numbers you gave me above. 38 is better. off side turns are sick. on side I have a slight tendency to get on the back of the ski when late and I load up.
Chris, how is your training going these days with the injury?

Try going forward by 0.003". That should help with the onside turn.

Chris, I have it dialed in good. my numbers wind up at 6.834, 2.502 .760 with both bindings at 17" and 29.25. It is nice on shortline to not load up and focus on falling away from the boat. this Radar Rocks..
