I have just bought a new 12meter C4 kite, lines bar pump etc the package, its a 2012.
So i also want to buy a older 2011 C4 9meter but just the kite alone.
My question is am i able to use the lines and bar from a 2012 12meter C4 kite on a older 2011 9meter C4 kite??
1 more Question if you don't mind, the 2011 C4 9m kite im looking at if i go and see the kite in person how can i see if the kite is 2011 and not 2010/2009? is there a manufacture tag on the leading edge or something?
thats all i need to know if any1 has any knowledge about it id be much appreciated. ;)
Thanks i love reading and watching this site its really great.
Equal line lengths on both kites so no worries there. 9m may have shipped with smaller bar than your 12m so may find a little more reactive on bigger bar but will still work.
Ozones have year written on leading edge along with model/size.
yep no worries. re the bar. as stated the year is part of the serial number.
Also they have a differenty colour scheme every year so google pictures od the c4 and you will soon easily be able to tell the difference year on yeah.
The canopy designs were different but the serial number will tell you also my 9 serial is C412-9-M-42E-... The 12 indicates 2012 a 2011 should be C411 and its located near the inflate valve.
All C4's should run the same bar also I had a 2010 12m and 2012 9m and used the same bar.
It's the same bar system but the 9m would have come with a bar 5cm shorter than the 12, not necessarily a problem but it may make the 9m turn faster than intended!
Thanks for everyones reply i appreciate all your help, so i did go and buy a 9m 2011, just waiting for my 12m to arrive. :)
Thanks again.
