5th line bar
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2005 4:15 pm
Hi!
Looking for suggestions/comments on 5th line bars (both good and bad). I rigged my own 5th line bar, but it is pretty ghetto, and I have no fine tuning of 5th line tension (which I've heard can take the place of sheeting the center lines). I really like the relaunchablility of the 5th line for light winds, as well as that the kite doesn't spiral when the safety is acitivated.
So far I have read good things about RRD 5th line bar as well as Slingshot's Oneline, but bad things about North's 5th Element. Any specific comments on the pros/cons of these systems as well as any others?
Also, any suggestions on making a my 5th line tunable are welcome.
