Peter Lynn C Quad 4.2 Safety System

Hi,

Iv recently purchased a peter lynn c quad 4.2 (quad line) and is an amazing kite to fly. Using the bar(handle like bar) that came with the kite.

I just wanna know if anyone knows how to incorporate a safety system with this kite?

Any ideas would be appreciated?

Thanks

How about a strop line with a loop in the middle across the top of the brake line leaders, you could then hook on a leash line to the loop, drop the bar and the leash would pull both brake lines.

Have you ever tried your Cquad on handles ?

I have to admit I have never tried mine on a bar but ...

Handles allow you to trim the Cquad on the fly . The stiff frame gives it an amazing / unique feel. Like an NPW , Rev Blast cross.
I can't imagine the Cquad being 1/2 as fun on a bar ?

I'm not a great bar fan either but ..... the C-quad bar is shaped to allow you to trim the brakes on the fly. I have one in the garage and that's where it's been since I acquired it!

@bigE123 Thanks for the advice tried your method and it worked great!

@Bladerunner Gonna definitely give the handles a go. Flew a friend of mines c quad 6.3 with handles wow the control and flexibility you have is awesome!

Seems to me they would be 2 very different experiences.

Full on power full time with the bar . OK for kitesurfing , I suppose ?

Being able to trim the kite on the fly is why I love my Cquad experience.

I think he is using the original C Quad bar that has the angled ends so you twist the bar - works somewhat similar to handles (although limited in the range of movement by comparison). Then there was a simple harness loop line like hooking in on a windsurfing boom.

yea....that bicycle handle bar type bar type thing..i think

I've never seen one of these before,... Google searched it,... That's really interesting, and yes, it seems very similar to an NPW in a way

I learned something to !

I always thought that the bend in the old bar was there to give a bit of slack on the brake relative to power lines. Never thought about twisting it. :duh:

I wish I had 1/2 the kite knowledge that Markite has ! :cool:

And I'm always wishing I had half the knowledge of quite a few others...so much to learn.
