bridal question

code - 7-10-2006 at 10:58 AM

Okay I got the wing warp system and the instructions have me a bit confused. I've attached a really bad drawing of a kite with the bridal lines and brake lines. I'm curious as to if the left side of the kite is labeled correctly or is the right side labeled correctly. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm having trouble figuring out what are the A, B, C, D Bridal Lines.:spin: In the diagram that comes with the system it only shows one line per letter..which would make sense if I set it up as shown on the right. However, the text part of the instructions state something along the lines of the first set across the top being A lines, next set down would be B lines and so on.

Any help would be much appreciated. Instructions also said it's not rocket science. Well I'm not a rocket scientist by any means, am a graphic designer (and it shows doesn't it..haha).

The left side drawing would be correct. The A starts at the nose of the kite or in a foil the open end, then B , C and D towards the trailing edge. The brake lines would then be attached to the trailing edge.
