Peter Lynn Navigator TS and Flexifoil blurr powerkite

Hi there

I wonder if you could help me, I have a flexifoil blurr kite and I just bought a peter Lynn navigator TS bar, now I was going to change my old bar with the new one but I noticed that the upper loop are different,

is this combination wrong?

I look forward to receiving your response.

Thanks
Antonio

Your bar and kite are not meant for each other. The TS bar is for a depowerable kite, primarily a Peter Lynn Arc. There might be some way to make the Blurr fly with that bar but its a bastardization at best. Great kite and great bar but not together.

Hi

Thanks

simple answer


no


it is not a depower kite, you need a fixed bridal bar

Thanks very much, sorry but I am new on this

it can be done
if you are just flying the kites on the back lines , attach the front lines to the center and the rear lines to the side of the bar

Get some handles. You will have more control than with a bar.

Blurr may well work ok with an Ozone Turbo Bar. The Blade V 4m I tried on it worked really nice. I've put a low aspect kite on a depower bar and it was a bit of a mess - with no power line input on the steering, the kite was far too easy to stall and spin when trying to turn.

Try the turbo bar...

John has shown the bar that it sounds like you are after. The Turbo bar is unique and I can't comment on it . Never tried one.

Dembones has the best answer for your situation though. Handles are pretty cheap. They are what your kite was designed to fly on.

If you are wanting to fly " hooked in " like depower , you can do this with handles. You attach a " strop " line between the top of both handles.

I put in a vote for you ! ;-)

Don't be shy with questions. This is the place to ask .
