Nav Bar Question
We were out flying with Jaymz yesterday. I noticed that the Y-split in his nav bar is further away from the kite than mine.
It seems like th Y-split on my nav bar is about 3/4 of the way to the kite(This seems to hold the ends of the kite too close together. I experienced
some clapping in my VII-16, which got resolved once I added 3m extensions).
Jaymz bar on the other hand seems to have teh Y-split about 1/2 way to the kite.
Both nav bars are Medium(45-55cm). Anybody know why this would be? or if there is a way to move the position of the Y-split further down? I may be
wrong. I did't have my bar with me and will sure bring it next time to compare side by side.

Yes,
Small bar is 45-55cm with 20+3m lines.
Medium bar is 45-55cm with 23+3m lines.
both bars are Medium.
I guess I will see about the split next time I compare them side by side. Now, is there any way of moving the split closer to the Bar?
I have seem Krug's Nav split line Removal mod and has given me a headache. http://www.powerkiteforum.com/viewthread.php?tid=20184
I can't tell if the Mod removes the split or just allows for the use of 4 lines of equal length.

LOL sorry for the headache.
Yes it removes the split and replaces it with 4 lines of equal length.
I haven't flown withthe split in a while. I dont believe it is adjustable tho.

I doubt you'd ruin it but I will admit it's a fair amount of labor to rework it to be non-splitline.
For my needs the stock bar was not going to work. I had no choice but to mod it.
