Well my new 12m Ranger came in but the seller just kinda threw everything in a box and now all the bridle lines are tangled. It's gonna be a zen kinda
evening with this rats nest. LOL

Nah, it is fine. Is the bar attached to the lines and kite? If so, just pull the bar 10 feet or so away from the kite and spread the kite out on the
lawn. It will naturally come undone on its own. Otherwise, you are probably right and will have a mess on your hands and at least a good 30 minutes
to sort it out.

The lines were "sorta" attached. I pulled it out of the box and they came undone. Everything was fine until Doggie and kitty got involved..... LOL! I
noticed that some of the lines are twisted in on themselves. This is my first foil in a while since I was a teen, so the bridle is a bit intimidating.

Still no big deal to sort out a bridle. Just stand on a step stool close to the kite and hold the pigtails up in the air. The bridle will show you
what it needs. You might have to run the pigtails back through a loop here or there, but I doubt it is as bad as it looks.

Yeah, that's what I am doing now. Poured me a glass of Jack and coke and am now working on it. It was tangled but not near as bad as I thought. Cant
wait to fly it this weekend!:D

Not used to bridles.....

once sorted you'll forget about them. just DO NOT REMOVE LINES and all will take care of itself.
djsiryn - 9-7-2015 at 07:28 PM
Yeah, it's so weird to me to leave the lines and bars connected. I'm used to taking my bars and using them with other kites. I do love how it makes
things so much easier and quicker to set up.

All of my kites have their own set of lines. I never have to do anything with any of my kites beyond walk the lines out and anchor, and then go
spread out the kite for a little pre-inflation. My two depowers are both closed cells and all I have to do is open them up for 30 seconds or so on
the ground before they have enough air to launch. I have never owned an inflatable, but I would probably still keep my lines attached to that even if
I did.

i leave my tubes attached. pump, walk and go! always sorted!
the only rule , the bar must never go through a loop, ( which includes the kite! this is where most fail )

Just "massage" the lines. Don't pull anything tight. ;-)
Jack and Coke is a good call. Rats nest or no.
