Turbo bar/twister bar/ home made turbo wanted!

im looking for a bar for my beamer and ace that i can lower and add pull with without dropping the kite with kite killers i landboard and use a harness so this is what im looking for

ive seen some pl bars and hq bars that are for 4 line kites would they work the same way if so ill buy one of those

Kites:
T-foil Trainer
HQ beamer 2m
Pansh Ace 5m (1st edition extra lifty)
Peter Lynn Venom 10m
Rides:
K2 Snowboard-K2 auto bindings-DC boots
GI Prodigy 2010 Gold and Black Vegas hubs

Wants:
A Machine that makes wind

Wind is like a drug: many people are addicted to it, too much of it and you could end up dead or in the hospital, too little of it and you\'ll go crazy, and just the right amount makes for a good time.

No other 4-line fixed bridle bars work the same as the PKD Twister Bar and the Ozone Turbo Bar. Are you going to be at the Wildwood Buggy Bash? If so, you can try my Turbo Bar there.

There i no real way to depower or lessen the power of a fixed bridle kite u need to fly a smaller kite if youre overpowerd or try using shorter lines like 10m lines that cuts down some power and lift. dont waste your money buying a new fancy bar. Like i said before u need a high wind kite (2 to 3m) and low wind kite (5 to7m )to really enjoy flying. or better yet go with depowers.

I've got a turbo bar that I may be selling down the road, I'll be at Wildwood as well so you can give it a go and if you like it maybe I'll sell it to you....

A "depower" bar will give you as much control over sheeting as handles do ... for all the difference that makes to "depower" on a fixed bridle.
A cross-over bar improves the ease of handling but makes reverse launching difficult ...

You can make your own but unless you have the parts lying around or can get them cheap - or LIKE makin' stuff - then I'd just buy one ...

Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...
