Bar and a " D-loop "

You can fly it on a bar but it still won't be a depower kite. Your D-loop attaches straight to the bar and is just for hooking in.

A chicken loop attaches to a trim strap and is different.

Search crossover bar for the type of bar set-up you will need.

Thanks, after reading your post, I went looking and found a bar, I have not used handles much, so think the bar will be easyer.
