Bullet - How do i adjust brake lines?

tripod - 31-7-2005 at 01:36 PM

I purchased my first kite at the weekend - A flexifoil bullet 3.5

Im a complete beginer, and looking in the instruction book my brake lines are too slack (plus the handles have to be virtually horizontal before any thing happens), but now im stuck, how do i fix this?

Somewhere i read that you need to add extra knots on the kites brake line and somewhere else i say that you need to add extra knots to the red and blue line thats attached to the handles, what is the correct method of correcting your brake lines?

Thanks for your help

You should have enough length on your leaders (the thicker chord) coming off of your handles for additional adjustment knots. That's the only place to put adjustment knots, never in your lines or your bridle leaders.

Have fun with your Bullet 3.5, fantastic kite.

Wear protections, this is the best advise that we can give you.
