Hi, i have recently been given a 3m squared powerkite but i dont have a clue about it?!?! it has no markings of any sort but seems to be made to a
high quality? I was given it as it was missing the Bridles(i think thats the strings from the foil to the flying lines??) all it has is loads of
little tabs to tie string onto? Can anyone help??? i took some line lenghs from a radsail 2.3 and made some but it doesnt seem to fly correctly?? Can
anyone helps me as i wanna get out and try to fly it??

It would help greatly if you knew the make and model of the kite.
Hate to say it but a LOT of time usually goes in to developping the bridle configuration when the manufacturer is designing the kite and then likely
as much time goes in to tweaking it for the proper AoA.
If its still a current kite or if it was a popular kite at one time, I'd try the manufacturer and see if they will sell you a bridle or at least share
the dimensions.

Post up some pictures and maybe someone on here can tell you what it is.

If your avatar is an indication, then you have a Symphony 2-line foil by HQ, but that model in the pic. would be one of the smaller ones. The largest
is 3.3 m but that is span, not sq. area and has a different color sheme.
More info!

the one in the pic is a symphony 1.4 :P i dont have any idea about the kite but i will post a piccy in a mo and its a 3m span as well as area as its
3m x 1.1m at tallest point i think

Sorry, didn't read your signature with your kitebag.
B-Roc is right. Messing with a bridle from scratch without a plan from the manuracturere would be futile unless you wanted to make a real hobby out
of it.

CLICk HERE!! Right then this is the kite i have spent many long hours lst night making a bridle but havent tried it. i have based the bridle on
one of my 1.45 kites that are almost half the size so i have doubled the bridle lenghs. i have only done this to experiment anymore info would be
great?!?!?!?

The Kite Flies, well it flew until the wind died. It didnt loose its shape like it did before therefor am hoping that it should now
