Can I just hook up the Navigator bar on a Phantom 15 make 1 AND fly it straight away or do I have to adjust the pigtails?
Same question with the safety. It used to be flown on an old bar with this flagout safety.

I'm trying to spend money wisely and have various offers so questions might pop up today.

My thoughts go to a phantom1-15 (second hand) and a Charger2-12 to get a quiver that covers the range I need and stays within budget.

yep , navigator without the Y split on the front lines , be fine. i flown both on numerous bars not that big of deal. may need a little tuning with pig tails. i like things depowered so kite is faster in light air.

seems good spread , plenty for where you are located. considerable difference in bar pressure between the 2 kites to share same bar.

ch2 has some bar pressure but nothing like phantom. the leaders on the front of the phantom is where any knots could be added to make easy match between the 2 kites

I fly my Phantoms with the Old Nav bar. Just had to add 2-3" pigtails on the front lines, everything works great!
