control bars?

wifey bought me a 3.6 hq beamer for xmas and i'd like to fly it with a bar rather than the handles. and looking around i'm lost.

can anyone suggest a suitable bar, and what width. from what i can see 60cm seems about right (but would this work with a bigger kite).

choices so far the flexifoil carbon bar or the ozone bar (which seems a bit more tech). what about a kitesurf bar, i've seen a naish one for the same money?

any advice gratefully recieved.

Ive flown my 5 meter beamer on the flexifoil bullet bar, and it goes a treat, actually smoother than on handles. You need a specific foil bar rather than a de-powerable bar, as it'll need the pulley type wheel for your brake lines to link around, also this way, you still have some re-launchability, where as putting it on 2 lines you wont!
Try www.powerkiteshop.com for a competative price.

have fun.
