when i tested the cab IDS I found I could not achieve full depower so I thought I would have to lengthen rear lines, so I pulled the pulled the depower trim all the way in but still not 100% depower. If I add more rear line I won't get full power then but lose max power as the line would no longer be same length. When I sat both bars on grass and compared them, the cab had a lot less depower and a lot less depower trim than the slingy, for equal 4 lines on full power. I don't know that much about the tech side of things, its just what I saw on land and felt on water. I assume it was because of the pulleys making it a 2:1 ratio. Others probably can explain it better to me.
As for the 2 line flagging, 1 works but you need to know which front line is fixed to predictably land it, and it is a messy land, where as both front lines seemed very predictable and controllable. My question still is, is it safe to attach both front lines to the slingshot oh **** ring for that predictable flagging.
There is no such thing as 100% full depower . Sorry i cant answer your question i have never used a slingshot bar before . the only reason you should be flagging the kite is if your in trouble and need to QR or if your self landing and you cant get the kite to land you can flag it .
