Best Bar Setting for Rebel 18

Postby danz » Sun May 03, 2015 12:32 pm

Hi Folks :D

Question expecially for Toby:


Which is the best bar setting for the Rebel 18? North standard it's ok? (all the 5 lines are the same lenght)

Or it's better to have a longer backs in order to have a better depower in strong winds?

Other, on the kite "adaptive tip", do you use the soft setting (longer back lines) or hard setting (shorter back lines) ?

thanks :)

David

On the kite I use the slowest option, which also makes it harder on the bar, so you have more feedback to feel the kite.

For the lines I trim it that when in microloop I have full power. Just attach the lines and trim it to how you prefer it.

Enjoy!

ok, so for the lines you have a bit shorter back lines than normal setting...'cause when microloop is engaged, the bar is not at full full power, but something less, right? :)
