My buddie is having a problem with his 2010 Core GT 7m.
Says he did the lines correctly; blue/blue red/red with the middle lines to the brake and outer lines to the leading top edges as the power.

When he pulls the bar left the kite goes right,
and vice versa.

I had no idea why Im a beginner too, anyone have any answers?
Im sure it's something stupid.

if he pulls the bar left and the kite goes right, the lines are attached wrong, no matter what they might say.

On a DEPOWER KITE bar, the center lines are nearly always (99.9%) going to the front of the kite, and the outside lines are going to the rear of the kite.

This can be very confusing to people who only kited with handles before(or used the ozone turbo bar with a fixed bridle kite), as they think the outside lines to back of the kite are "brakes only" or the like, instead of realizing it's a control line.

When using handles, both the "power" and "brake" lines are "control" lines, as you pull on both to steer the kite. On a bar, you only have one set of "control" lines & no more "brakes".

Well I will tell him to switch them around, you have a good point since he has a Pansh. Thanks man :roll:

Yup, fixed bridle kites have the rear lines going to the center. Depowerable kites have the rear lines going to the outside.

As mentioned above, if you steer right and the kite goes left...you have it hooked up backwards. If on a bar, flip the bar 180 degrees and it should be right...except your lines may have a twist in them.

Just an observation, on the Ozone Turbo bar the front/power lines go to the center and the brakes go to the outside.

whoops too many tabs open
