I'm hoping to get out and play with my new NPW tonight !
It's an NPW 5 4.8m and the instructions show that it can be flown 2 line. I'm a fan of bars ( Not that kind, Mr. Customs Officer ) and have a few
kicking around.
What is the scoop on flying 2 line ?
Do NPW brake turn or are the brakes more of a safety other than keeping the nose up ?
Woo Hoo a new type of flying :singing:

I would myself never consider flying a npw as a 2 line kite. With handles and 4 lines you have so much more control. You can use the brakes to
launch it from upside down, turn the kite and land the kite. As a 2 line I find you are very limited. Try it out and you might like it that way.
There is only one way to find out.

Thanks Susan,
That is about what I thought . Now you have confirmed it. I think I'll tinker with line length before I started going 2 line !
WEeeeeeeeee :singing:

The brakes are great if the nose collapses, you just pop the brakes and it will fill again, and they like a bit of brake pressure, so yeah. I would
never go 2 line.
