Can I switch Handles??


Hello
I have Handles for both my Samurai and my Blade IV. The Samurai already comes with a STROP on it. Can I use the Samurai handles on my Blade IV ??

Thank YOU

I would imagine you could. I had handles on my Ozone Little Devil that I use on my HQ Crossfire perfectly fine. I wouldn't imagine there is much of a difference in handle lengths, etc. Best bet is to try it out and see how it feels. Bars are a different story due to bar size compared to kite size. But most bars are pretty static 4-lines bars can be used on any kite as well, depending on kite size though. Some may work better with a slightly larger bar, while others work better with smaller bars.

Handles should be interchangable, both kites are high quality and their handles should be up to the task, I'd be a little weary of taking handles off any of the super cheapo kites and putting them on a blade though.

One thing I did find is that the handles from my 3m kites don't work so hot on the 5m and up, the larger kites need more throw on the brakes, you can leave the lines slack and get away with using shorter handles on a big kite, but you won't get the max performance out of them.

I have interchanged handdles on many differnt kites, it seems like the only difference i see is using cheaper quality kite handles with higher quality kites... or small handdles with a big meter kite....
