Has anyone modified a Turbo 2 from 2:1 to 1:1 depower? I'm sure it's possible, probably by eliminating the bar pulleys and possibly adjusting th bridles. Any one know the details of this procedure?

(Yes, I know that the T3 is set up to alternate back and forth. I have a good condition T2 that I'd like to fly 1:1.)

You can convert the bar from 2:1 to 1:1 but there is nothing you can do to the kite. On the T3, when you change the bar, you must also change the attachment points on the kite also. You can try it with the bar if you want and see what happens. It is perfectly safe though I am not sure if you will get the results you are looking for.

You must remove the outside lines (back) from the connection point on the center line (front) and reattach to the outside lines the same way the back lines are connected to the thicker braided lines on the bar. (hope this makes sense) you will then most likely need extensions on the end of the lines to make sure the lines are equal length.

Thanks, Noel. I will give it a try.
