More importantly can you mod a C KITE to a BOW KITE?

I think not. Bows generally have a flatter shape. You could possibly copy an SLE hybrid. SLE means supported leading edge. The 5th line is sort of doing that job. I suppose you could play with adding a bit of bridle at the front to bring it into action though ?

Having said that I have NO Bow / SLE experience accept with helping launch + land.

The first bow's were the companies putting bridles on C-kites. They weren't as good as the modern bow's but they were a happy medium. Not doing it just curious if it works...
