Hello, I bought a ozone bar for my foil kites, it a few years old and has a very short depower.
Would it be wise to increase the line length on the depower?
I have race kites in 9m and 15m.i know I would have to lengthen the steering lines .
Thanks Herman, makes sense. Could not tell from the photo. I’ll make the mini-5th on the lines 6m, more than half the kite span...Herman wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 12:29 am? Length is not the flag out length. Flying line is pulled through the red stopper ball. The rig may have a stopper on the flying line to stop the bar going all the way to the bridle. A tapered insert in the flying line can be used as a jammer for a flying line stopper ball. You need spliced flying lines (as opposed to sleeved & stitched loops ) to be compatable with the holes in most of the chicken loops I have seen.
Thanks Foilholio, not for these kites. For that Genesis kite yes. I wrote “2:1 depower” but I should have said 2:1 trim, or 1:2 trim
