Thanks Steve, fully clear now. Will not risk anything unless really light winds..Once I've flown my Contra several times I will surely post a review...experienced1 wrote:The Cabrinha website is very clear about not using the 1X bar on the Contra. This has to do with the 1 line flagging safety sytem. another poster has already measured the flagging line on the 1xl Contra bar and indicated that it was longer than the flagging line on the 1x bar. This is for a reason...so that the kite will flag and dump power when you need it; when you release QR1. It may work OK when the wind is light, but would it work better? how bout when it gets windier?
Another poster indicated the only difference is that if you use the 1xl bar the kite will turn faster Well there are other differences:
1) standard line length on the 1x is 22m (outside lines
2) standardd line length on the 1xl is 24m (ouside lines)
3) standard line length on the 55cm race bar is 24m 9utside lines, and 27 for the 65cm.
