I was just wondering how many people use the Peter Lynn Twister on a bar, I'm just curious as to how it handles.

I had a Twister on handles, and it flew very well, however I've heard a lot of people say Twister does really poorly on a bar.

The original Twisters, esp the larger sizes, did not do well on a bar. The Twister IIs fixed that and do OK with the bar.

Ok, thanks. I'll borrow a bar and try it out first

I can only comment on the Twister II but, the 5.6 and 7.7 fly well on a long (70cm) bar and I have flown a 7.7 on an Ozone Turbo Bar which also worked well.

I have also flown a 4m T2 on the standard peter lynn bar which was ok but not as good as handles. the 5.6 definately did not fly well on the PL bar I bought it wih.

I would stick with handles for fixed bridle kites - you have more fine control & brake input. if you are snow or landboarding a bar is easier to ride toeside and one-handed but at this point it would be better to get a depowerable kite.

My Twister I 7.7m was just awful on the stock PL bar. Good kite on handles though.

On my 5.5 twister I would need a huge bar. Sometimes I have one arm all the way extended, and my other arm at my shoulder, wishing I had longer arms.

Okay thanks, I'll stick to handles I think
