Hey all. My friend has a Radsail pro 3m, and we both struggle with the brakes on it.
Even in mild ish winds it is a right pig to land. I have tried shortening the brake lines by adding extra knots on the bridle, but it is still the
same.]
I did think about longer handles?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanx.
Dan.

"... right pig to land..."
Now what does that mean in English?
Can you describe what the kite is doing?
Rather than your comment.
Does it back up?
But not evenly?
What are mild-ish winds?
How are you rigged?
On handles?
Top and bottom lines taut or do the bottom lines sag a bit?
How much experience do you have with this kite?
Adding extra knots on the bridle?
Who told you to do that?
Perhaps shortening your brake lines at the handle (where you happen to be) is what you meant to do.
But please describe the kite and its actions during the procedure.
Safen Up! Buggy On!
