C kite airush flow question


I've got a 2003 airush flow 15.5 m
Can I use a newer anlog bar with kite
Also will that give me more depower than original bar and better
Safety or will make no different to kite?
What do you think????
Cheers ali

You can use any bar with equal lines.. Flying any old C kite on a newer long travel bar will not
give the kite any added Depower. The amount of depower a kite can achieve depends on the design
of the kite. With an 03 flow that amount of depower is minimal at best.

good luck
Dave

Some of the old C's required very little throw. Too much and they would luff easily and drop from the sky. I recall a buddy tying a knot in his Airush depower line to limit the throw even on the OEM bar.
