5th Line Setup

macboy - 20-4-2008 at 12:30 AM

Hey, does anyone know if there is a diagram available of a 5th line setup? I've got 2 bars to set up / convert but don't want to unwind my already set up bar to compare (we just got another dump of snow and will be wet grounded for a week or so).

? I thought I left a print out of the Ocean Rodeo upgrade manual in the bag for the Airush? The manual to ? Take a look ???

Here it is.

EZ to copy with some line and stopers.

Either buy another old 4 line bar and strip it of stopers and lines or buy some line and stopers at a shop.

Older OR bars seem to have a bigger hole in the bar + the Punch out is a nice release ! If you see a 12m Bronco or Vegas going cheap with a bar it would fit your quiver nicely.

Ah crap. You're right too....I forgot all about it. Thanks for the reply nonetheless.....wifey and I will be giving the 9 a go once the snow dissipates.

Are you getting any time in on the Access ?

Good kite to figure out depower on !

BE SURE to go 5th line !!!!!

I HATED trying to recover that kite without. That is why I had the attachment put on. I couldn't have sold in good concience without one! I WOULD NOT recommend flying it 4line. It flies well ! Letting go is like giving up and accepting 2 hours of line magament. :P

I've had the access out a handful of times but the traction season for me is about over until I get the ATB good and figured out. The field by my place is okay but the wind is horribly dirty. Add to this a smattering of ball diamond backstops and my skills will have to be very good. I'm hoping the rollerblades / WOD help keep me going 'cuz I'm really not a fan of flying static and not quite ready for jumping.
