Thanks for the update. So the 1XL bar has 24 meter lines which are probably longer than the 1x bar (couldn't find the line length readily). So that means the flag line length matches the longer lines on the XL bar. I am assuming they are doing this because the 15 and 17 meter contra kite is a longer kite than the biggest Switchblade and would need more of the flagging line to pull through to completely flag (straighten out) the kite.

With that said, a line extension kit would also do the job correct(?) Just like they have 3 meter extension line sets just add an extra 3 meter of flagging line and you have the same set up?

I have not seen how the flagging line acts. Is it a completely independent line that connects to the bridal side by side with the front line? The video shows a dedicated flag label on one of the front lines. Is this just to have a visual marker or perhaps is the flag line somehow attached (sewn) to the front line that has the flag label?

Thanks
