Has slingshot brought out a 5-line system yet?
Has anyone tried it with the 2004 fuel kites?
Also can you retrofit the 5-line system to a SS 2004 bar?
Does anyone have any good web sites on how to make a 5 Line system?
All response would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Tyler

just out of curiosity.. do the fuels have 1 central pump hook line or 3?, and are they all definately pump hook lines?

Thanks got this info from SS

The 5th Line accessory for Slingshot kites is about to arrive, should be available from next week.

It will retro-fit onto the '04 bar but you may want to replace the Chicken Loop rope at the same time if it is well worn as you need to use the outer case of this rope.

The shops have been waiting for these kits for some time and as soon as we get them we will let them know.

Remember that the 5th Line was developed by companies that have high AR kites which typically have canopy stability and re-launch problems. As Slingshot has never had either of these issues there has been no need to supply the kites with this feature. However there are some riders who are interested in putting up with the hassle of adding another line to gain a 'spin on centre' safety system. It is this feature that the 5th Line kit mainly provides as well as 100% depower and self-landing.

Reports of kite damage from the use of 5th line systems are increasing rapidly (especially in the surf), so the decision to use a 5th line as a cure-all needs to be taken seriously.

Please let me know if I can help you further.

Slingshots dont need '5th line option' for stability - thats a standard feature on every kite
