New Beamer TSR

hey guys, i just got a new beamer tsr off craigslist and i cant seem to find the manual anywhere online. im used to flying two line snapshots so this new bar setup is something new and i would like to know somethings about the setup of the lines. there appears to be some rings on the bridles but u have no clue where those attach to or where anything else goes. the bar has all the line wrapped on the and there are two line attachment points on each side of the kite. if someone could produce a manual that would be amazing but if not then just some advice on setup would be greatly appreciated. i already have all the flying basics down i just need to know the proper setup, thank you.

It's been a while, but the lines will hook up like any 4 line kite on a bar: Brake lines (rear) go to the bar center attachments - the leaders that extend from the center Pulley. Main lines (front) connect to the outer leaders on the bar.

The rings you see on the kite bridle are on some rings called "power rings". They do not connect to anything except the short leader that should already be connecting them to a place close to the front lines. The brake bridle leaders should run through them before they connect to the brake lines. The rings serve to keep the brake bridles in close proximity to the front line leaders and this serves to redirect the tension of the brake bridles from that point near the front leaders. This is said to amplify brake input and improve turning.

Hope this makes sense. If you need a diagram or manual, you might try the gang at HQ-Kites-USA.com

The field card for the Beamer TSR is still on the Invento-HQ site. Diagram is included.
