Hey all
After riding my switchblade for a while I noticed that I didn't need to adjust the trim much if at all once I had it set. Therefore there is not much need for those stupid dangly bits that they put on to allow you to adjust it when flying but really just get in the way. So I cut them off and wacked on some small pieces of webbing so I could still adjust it. Now I can no longer adjust it when I am flying but I all I have to do is land the kite, pull in on the center line, adjust it and relaunch. Too easy.
This makes the bar heaps neater, makes it easier to roll up your lines and stops those bits getting tangled in the lines.
Good Idea. I have been wrapping mine in a tube of wetsuit material to try to keep them under control
