hello all,

Been using handles for my twister 2 5.6m and really like them but would like to POSSIBLY get the bar :wee:

does anyone know what the bar is like with the twister 2 5.6m ?

the bar: http://www.powerkiteshop.com/accessories/peterlynnpowerkitec...

1. how would i attach this to a harness, i assume you would use a strop ? but i cant see in the picture ( see link for picture) how i would attach the strop. little help ?

2. it says in the description the following :" Central webbing trim system with pulley to allow brakes to run freely during aggressive steering. The rear brakes simply attach to the line running through pulley "

wondering what this meens ? bit of a noob question i know.

thanks to everyone . :wee::singing:

ps. what does it meen by central webbing trim :puzzled:

you need to get a d-loop to hook that bar to a harness. Or I guess you could also use a strope just make sure you have a quick release of some sort to release in case of emergency.

The trailing edge lines come together at the center of the bar and are on a pulley so they move freely as you turn. Don't get this confused with a x-over bar. The PL bar also has a trimmer strap for the center lines to adjust on-the-fly.

when you say d-loop do you meen a chicken loop ? and if u meen chicken loop , could i attach it to a spreader ?

yes its basically the same thing as a chicken loop. I usually use the term chicken loop with a de-power kite and d-loop with a 4 line fixed bridle bar. A chicken loop with usually have one attachment point for the de-power line. A d-loop has connecting points at each end to attach it to a bar not the de-power line.

Hope this makes sense.

Everyone who tried it hated our 7.7 Twister on the Stock P.L. bar. I ordered mine on handles.

If you are going to do it I suggest you pay a bit more and get that new fangled bar by Ozone. That or use a crossover style bar.

BR ,I'm buildin an alloy crossover bar.here is the prototypew/ knot adjusters. I used paracord for the proto, bought I have bought 6mm and 1/8" amsteel and some Harken pulleys. Works great, just gotta get used to the fact that you dont hang on to the bar, it is just a steering device and a braking device. I'm hooked in w/ pull type wichard

sorry for hijack,,, I modeled my bar after the ozone bar that Blade was talkin about .. really works well too.

For the bigger sizes there's also the classic bar, little cheaper then the standard one because there's no adjuster strap, but it 'll have those big ones turn a lot faster as it steers with the brakelines too.

I'm not a real fan of the Twister on the bar. I had one returned by a customer who said "it didn't fly right". Turns out he did not know how to adjust the brakes, and when I did, I realized it would be tough for a newbie and couldn't blame the guy. Even when dialed in, you give up a lot.

The Turbo bar would work well, I'm sure though, but that's $200.

How about a HQ x-over bar. Have you tried that?
