Hi guys. I was out flying my trainer today and heard a bit of creaking and a twang from the bar/lines. I checked the lines and nothing is visibly damaged. Any ideas what might have caused the problem?
The trainer is an ozone Imp 3.5 if that's relevant.
Thanks for your help!

Not sure on trainer kites but...
But may have been a line caught around another or the end of the bar and then let go. as long as at the end it all checked out ok, should be OK. I've had wierd noises as well, I know some have had no explanation and others... well...Ive got a dog that blames it on my kids and visa versa.

Thanks bobajob. I'm almost certain it wasn't a caught line - I was thinking maybe the bar had snapped internally or something. I've since tried to flex it though and it seems perfectly fine.
Anyway, I don't use the trainer much anymore - really just for friends and days where I'm not game to fly my big one.
Fingers crossed nothing's broken :)
