A stopper ball on the flag line will take care of this problem. Ozone now has a really slim one, that does not cause as much annoying tangle as the previous bulkier one.edt wrote:The mini-5th line Y two center lines is a lot more convenient because the bar doesn't shoot all the way up the kite and it makes it easier to relaunch.

right but you have to place the red bar stopper ball 10 meters up the lines (1 full wingspan needs to be bigger than any of the kites you'll fly with that particular bar) vs usually 3 meters on a center line Y safety release so even with the stopper ball, it's still more convenient to use the mini-5th line for relaunch.AndKite wrote:A stopper ball on the flag line will take care of this problem.

Agreed. It is more convenient in that respect. But I still think a single fron line flag system is more versatile and capable and allow the user to handle more situations.edt wrote:right but you have to place the red bar stopper ball 10 meters up the lines (1 full wingspan needs to be bigger than any of the kites you'll fly with that particular bar) vs usually 3 meters on a center line Y safety release so even with the stopper ball, it's still more convenient to use the mini-5th line for relaunch.
I would like a flag-out system that i could pull back in and relaunch withouted257 wrote:In terms of emergency flagging out the kite, how are most new 4-line bars set up?
1. Flag out on one front-line
2. Flag out on both front-lines
3. Flag out on on rear line
Which of these approaches works the best?

If you do a proper bar recovery procedure, you should be fine. Done it a gazillion times with my students, and it usually works like a charm.Bille wrote:

all my lines getting tangled ; does that exist ?
