Flying Ozone DP kites on Peter Lynn Control Bars and Visa Versa


As a much newer DP kite flyer there are a lot of things I don't know. One question that has come up in a conversation about potential sale of two Peter Lynn Lynx DP kites I'm selling is whether they would operate on an Ozone DP control bar such as comes with an Ozone Access DP kite.

In looking at the Ozone DP manual online it appears to use exactly the same system as the Peter Lynn DP kites with either the Navigator or Magnet control bars. What I'm talking about is that the kites are powered off of four lines (two fronts and two rears). A fifth safety line originates in a ring in the chicken loop and runs through the swivel all the way up to the kite to get tied into a simple center bridle system. This then acts as a safety line allowing the kite to flag out.

These two systems look identical to me, but I've only held the PL stuff in my hands; my Ozone info is from a manual. Can somebody please tell me if an Ozone Access DP kite could be flown on a PL Magnet DP control bar and whether a PL Lynx DP kite could be flown on an Ozone DP control bar?

Thanks!!!!

The basic function is similar. Depending on which model Access you compare it to. Its likely they're cross compatible with some potential need for tuning the throw or what have you to make it work without loss of performance.

Thanks Chris. You of anybody would know! From the manuals they look completely similar is design. A person considering purchasing my Lynx kites and Magnet bar wanted to know about this potential cross-compatibility.

You know my gig; I gotta make room for more Peak2's ;)
