Best TS 2013 with 5 line bar?

Postby MACTNKA » Mon Sep 08, 2014 4:59 am

Hey guys, I recently bought a Best TS kite and actually, enjoy it a lot. The only problem I found(other than the sketchy relaunch), was that it just wouldn't flag out on a 4 line Core, Fone or Switch bar. Since the kite didn't come with one I was hoping to make it work with what I have and I am running out of options. Has anybody tried the TS on a North 5th Element, and if so, how and how good were the results? Thanks again for the input!

I would make sure those bars are set up to flag on a single front line, the original best control bar flags this way, so it might be your problem. Just picked up 2013 ts 15m really enjoy it, but haven't had to flag it out yet.

the f-one bar is a double front line safety, so it won't work with the TS - this was designed for single line system and the BEST bar is a single front line system.

I'm not sure about the core/switch bars, or a 5th line one but hope you get chance to check!
