HQ Neo2 5th Line Setup

The fifth line setup is new to the Neo2, and was not a feature on the previous model.  When the safety is activated on the Neo2 the kite deploys to a 5th line that runs from the center of the kite and also includes and anti-crossover line over the 5th line stopping the kite from tangling during deployment to the 5th line.  This all allows full depower of the kite, and easy to reset safety that doesn’t leave the kite in a mess unlike when releasing to a front line safety.  After you have deployed to the 5th line is is possible to reset the chicken loop, hook back in and relaunch the kite.

HQ Neo2 Kite Bar

The new bar offers a “jerk off” safety release, giving you maximum safety potential by enabling you to pull the release with either the left or right hand.  There is now a 5th line flag out on the Neo 2 and you connect to this from the line next to the release.  This year HQ have also included retractable bungees, so when they are not holding your lines on the bar they retract back inside the bar.
