Bar for a Blade2

[photek1000]

I've moved to boarding from buggying and I would like to put a bar on my BII 6.4 but the availability of BII bars and crossovers etc seems to be non existant these days.

 

So with the BIII bar available how does the BII fly on these with the brakes hooked up to the leash.

 

Can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, but whats it's turn rate like, does any one run this combo or any other ideas.

 

I like the idea of the safety as I've always flown with brakes there if I need them.

I have used the Blade II on my Blade III controls (bar) and it works fine!

The turn rate is what you would expect and the safety system really does work as I found out in anger a couple of weeks ago in high winds.

 

I still use handles in lower winds but the bar clipped in a harness in higher winds is really good. You will probably need the 65cm!

 

I use this one and as I said its is good in higher winds and well worth the money

Hope this helped

Cheers for the info, I have been having a look about and I might go for a AIRUSH CONTROL BAR from Coastguard as it's under half the price of the Flexi one and has the ability for a safety set up.

 

Any experiance of these on Blade 2's

No sorry m8, no idea never tried it with that set up!

Although I would imagine the cheapest of bars would do! they are all the same set up, apart from the depower so why not go for http://www.powerkiteshop.com/accessories/flexifoilbulletsmallcontrolbar.htm

 

cant get cheaper than that for a try anyway?

 

Cheers

Let us know how you get on!

Yeah thats nice and cheap, but a bit short, makes you wonder how the price jumps though to a bar 10CM longer. At least the Air Rush was still a 65 bar.
