16 different features concentrated on the control bar. We can easily call it your flight deck, your mission control center. All your interactions with a kite during your ride will be through the control bar. Here is the list of what is usually available on most control bars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Chicken loop \u2013 the main point of attachment between you and your kite. Most of the pull is transferred via the chicken loop. Chicken loop usually opens up when safety release (3) is engaged.

3. Safety release \u2013 this is your emergency brake. Use it to kill all power and flag out the kite <\/p>\n\n\n\n
