hi. ive bought 2 cabrinha co2 kites s/hand without bar & lines,is it possible to make my 4 line 28mtr globerider bar & lines fit the recon set up on the kite??
if not does anyone have a s/hand set or how much should i pay new?
does the recon 2 work that well that i should get it anyway?
i love my globerider kites & hope these have the same hangtime...any comments welcome...

i started with a 2004 12m CO2. I could never get the hang of using the recon to relaunch. I just launched the normal way.

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use your old bar and lines. Just use the normal safety. If you do get a recon bar and lines, i don't believe you will be able to use them on your other kites as they do not have the setup to use the recon safety, unless you set up the bar with an extra safety line.

Give Dan a call at Windsurfing Perth and he'll be able to advise you if you can, they have a website and he'll be happy to help.

I had a similar question in regards to Recon, I emailed Cabrinha a couple of days ago and received this response from them today. Be cautious if connecting to non recon kites.:

Thanks for contacting Cabrinha Support
43cm is a rather small control system for a 16m kite.
The control system will work on any size kite however the steering will suffer from such a small bar.
A 16m would prefer the 58cm or 50cm control system.
 
Also if the control system is RECON equipped we do not recommend using it with a NON RECON kite.
If the RECON is activated on a non RECON kite you may send your kite into a dangerous out of control situation which may be harmful to yourself and others.
 
Hope this helps, any further questions please email us here @ Support.
 
Best regards

I had a similar question so contacted Cabrinha directly, and this is their reposonse as of lunchtime today.

Watchout for recon kitebars with kites that aren't setup for them

Also the recon 1 bar works with recon 2. I actually got this bar a spare when I bought my recon 2 CO2 kites. (Cabrinha didn;t deliver the recon 2 bars for a couple of months after the kites came)
