We were out flying with Jaymz yesterday. I noticed that the Y-split in his nav bar is further away from the kite than mine.
It seems like th Y-split on my nav bar is about 3/4 of the way to the kite(This seems to hold the ends of the kite too close together. I experienced
some clapping in my VII-16, which got resolved once I added 3m extensions).
Jaymz bar on the other hand seems to have teh Y-split about 1/2 way to the kite.
Both nav bars are Medium(45-55cm). Anybody know why this would be? or if there is a way to move the position of the Y-split further down? I may be
wrong. I did't have my bar with me and will sure bring it next time to compare side by side.

did his, has yours got the extensions on?
martinipro - 19-12-2011 at 01:02 PM
No, he didnt have extensions on his bar

there is a choice between 20+3m lines and 23+3m lines
martinipro - 19-12-2011 at 03:37 PM
Yes,
Small bar is 45-55cm with 20+3m lines.
Medium bar is 45-55cm with 23+3m lines.
both bars are Medium.
I guess I will see about the split next time I compare them side by side. Now, is there any way of moving the split closer to the Bar?
I have seem Krug's Nav split line Removal mod and has given me a headache. http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=20184
I can't tell if the Mod removes the split or just allows for the use of 4 lines of equal length.

LOL sorry for the headache.
Yes it removes the split and replaces it with 4 lines of equal length.
I haven't flown withthe split in a while. I dont believe it is adjustable tho.

Thanks for posting the image!
I don't think I want to mod my only bar thouh!(afraid I ruin it)
Yeah I don't think the split it is adjustable.

I doubt you'd ruin it but I will admit it's a fair amount of labor to rework it to be non-splitline.
For my needs the stock bar was not going to work. I had no choice but to mod it.

Stock med Navi bar, 23m lines, no extensions.
Martin, I really liked the 16m VII on the LF bar. We should swapped to the Navi bar to compare. Next time.
