Peter Lynn Bomba 15 SOLD

Another piece of the Peter Lynn history !

I have a Bomba 15 sqm, kite only, for sale. It's not new, as you can imagine, but it still fly very well. It have a few repairs, one tear about 4 inches long on the intrado repaired with sail tape, a few pin hole and a new zipper. Spars are new, I made em myself with Easton aluminum poles, very great spars, I kept the old ones if you want em. $125 + shipping (I live in Quebec, Canada)

Here a video of the kite that I made to demonstrate the potential of a home-made "Navigator style" bar

Can you post close-up pics of your bar ?
Thanks

I posted some pictures on the old Arcusers
Here

And made a complete explanation how I did it (in French) there

But the bar is not for sale, I keep it, it goes very well:smilegrin:

It's an Airush bar 5 lines, it already had a Y line, I cut the fifth line and attached it to one of the front line. Added a long throw and it was done.

Thanks for looking.

It looks like it needs to flag out more. If the wind was nukin I think it would be more of a hassle.

I know, there is some friction on the flagging line, if it's nuking it is fine, it's between that that there may be some troubles... On the video the wind was very low.
I will upgrade this, but I think I need a bar with a larger CL hole

Or a smaller diameter flag line?

Mattgenius - 4-2-2011 at 09:35 AM

Maybe, its a regular line, the problem is when there is a few turns between that line and the central line, I can't unturn them because they are not real turns, there is equal turns in one side than in the other. Maybe a kind of wax may reduce friction.
