Donkey stick replacement
Yesterday while winds were high I somehow broke my donkey stick off of my control bar. The Velcro was ripped completely off the stick leaving it to
drop to the ground. I'll post a picture when I'm off work. Anybody have replacements for PL zero7 bar? I guess I can try and fix it but I'd rather not
risk losing one of my scorpions. My kite floated away before I realized the stick had broken. Luckily there was enough field for the kite to land
safely in.

They are a pain. You might try attaching one to the harness hook instead. Also you might consider a suicide leash if you keep having this problem.

Sorry for the hijack flyjump, but lad (or anyone for that matter) do you remember the thread about setting up a suicide leash? I thought it was one
of Carltb's but I can't find it. I'm still in the dark when it comes to de-power set up stuff.

zip tie option
In a pinch you can always use the heavy-duty zip-tie-around -the-spreader-bar option. This pic was snagged form an old post by Arkay, but I've seen
it on other sites.

Sorry to be late to the thread and thanks Maven. Yes I do indeed have this here. All the components listed at that part of the site are normally in
stock, since I know it's a silly little item like that which can keep you grounded.

With an Oh-7 bar? Leash from harness to the D-loop on the bottom of the safety, inside the chicken loop ... that way, the PL leash from the rear line
to the spinning loop with flag the kite but the suicide leash will keep you attached if you lose the chicken loop somehow.
Make sure you practice releasing the leash too eh  There's no de-power if you're
attached like that!
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
