FS/Trade Flexifoil 2 line bar, lines, killer

You might want to break out the kite and double check it.

From memory, this is the info I had on the Sting II (which I assume this is).

Dual Line on a Bar
Sting II 1.2, 1.7 or 2.4 in a long sling bag.

• 2x 18M/59ft 100kg/220lbs (Power Lines)
  
• Basic Bar
  
• Kite Killer (1)

Quad Line on Handles
Sting II 1.2, 1.7, 2.4 or 3.3 in a short sling bag.

• 2x 18M/59ft 100kg/220lbs (Power Lines)
  
• 2x 18M/59ft 75kg/165lbs (Brake Lines)
  
• Short 4-Line Handles
  
• Kite Killers (2)

The quad-line Stings could be converted to a bar (like the Flexifoil Traction Lite Bar)

However, the dual-line Stings could only be flown on the dual-line bar that came with it (or similar), Lite Wrist Straps, Padded Wrist Straps, or Contoured Wrist Straps.

The dual-line Stings could not be flown on handles, because the canopy does not have brake line leaders on it.

Sorry to be a wet blanket.

Sam, you are a wealth of information.

I shouldnt have said "handles." I meant wrist straps. I assume it would work on wrist straps because its the same basic layout as my 2 line HQ and 2 line Prism. I tried the bar and didnt much care for it.

As for if its a I or II, not sure. Date on the tags on the bag are 2006.

If all you need are wrist straps, I would say hang on to the lines that came with the kite.

I should be able to send you a pair of straps early next week.

We can U2U/eMail/phone to discuss which flavor of straps you might prefer. About the only ones I would stay to keep away from are the ones with the triangular plastic connectors (straight webbing to leaders would be better).

A little overkill, but if your preference is for Contoured Straps



There should be a couple of those hanging in the bell tower too.

Give a holler and let me know.

ATB,
Sam

I thought about that. But was looking at going a bit longer on the lines. Alot of choppy low level winds inland here and I wanted a bit more reach into the air. I suppose another 20-30 feet wouldnt make that much of a difference.

I do have a set of the Boa straps I use on my delta kites. But the plastic triangles didnt look strong enough given the 220# rating of the line.

I appreciate the offer.... Let me see what materializes in the coming days.
