contact control system
The Contact-Water Control System offers the latest in safety features, a clean
control bar design and a simple easy-to-use trimming system.
Push Away Quick Release – The control system features a new Megatron pushaway
quick release safety with total flag out of the kite. The release handle is ergonomic
with positive release forces (under 8kg) allowing for quick and easy release. Simple
re-assembly saves time and gets you back up and riding faster.
Two Safety Modes – The Megatron offers riders a choice of two safety modes,
the recommended standard safety or the optional Suicide safety. • The standard Flag out safety offers 100% flag out in all situations by releasing the
Megatron or letting go of the bar when un-hooked • The Suicide option offers 100% flag out only when the Megatron is released whilst
hooked in, allowing riders practicing handle passes to let go of the bar with out flagging
the kites safety (not recommended) Anti-twist 100% Flag Out Line – The flag out line running through the
Megatron & safety leash attachment at the bottom keeps the leash tangle
free when doing rotations and manually unwinding the centre lines using the
Spinning Handle. Low Friction Centre Piece – The control bar features a low friction aluminum
centre piece designed to reduce trim line wear. Auto Positioning Chicken Loop – Designed in conjunction with the bar centre
piece, the Megatron spinning handle allows chicken loop auto positioning, offering
easy unhooked riding and hooking back in.
Magnetic trim handle system – The Magnetic trim handle connects
to a magnetic neoprene sock covering the clam cleat to reduce tangles when
the trimmer is depowered.
PU Covered trim line & cast stainless steel de-power ring – The tough
PU covered trim significantly reduces wear when sheeting in and out, whilst
the smooth running de-power ring also prevents trim line wear.
The Contact-Water Control System bar sizes come in 45cm, 50cm
and 55cm. The larger size PU chicken loop (sold separately) is perfect
for riders with longer arms or for riders wanting even easier hooking in & out.

Checking & maintaining Control System Flying Lines
Over time kite flying lines may stretch slightly, and we highly recommend that you
check your Control System lines are set correctly to what we call “bar zero”.
Checking and maintaining your Control System will ensure you get the most
performance from your Ozone kite.
