um it could be another ebay special or something. if it is they usually dont fly right there is another thread under kites and accesories. another guy had he same problem. it could also have a line stretch if this is the case you may have to rebridle the lines. time consuming and best if done by a professional.

Start all over with a name brand kite?

4 line 6meter no name on a bar ? I see nothing but red flags!

Not trying to be discouraging but I think you have a lemon? You will have nothing but fun with a good kite. Nothing but trouble with a no name 4 line on a bar !
