I went flying today and I LOVE this kite. Flew it some 10mph winds to get a feel for it and to tune it. The wind increased to 16mph and I decided to
do some jumping. I can't wait til the snow flies.

Sounds like the perfect day for an introduction to this size of arc.
Pretty impressive air for 1st day ! You took your time and made a very good choice! This kite has a wide enough range you won't be needing to hunt for
another size for a while. Then you will probably want to get a bigger one.
Can't tell in photo if I see a helmet ?

Yes I am wearing a helmet. I got a few 20+ foot high jumps and a very scacy experiance. I jumped probably 15-20 feet and I accidently looped the kite
by redirecting to hard. I did 360 and somehow landed scuding on feet. I crashed the kite pretty hard LE down.
I also noticed the kite wll auto-zenith, then slowly go left. It might be that the leash ring makes the left line 1cm shorter than the right. Next
time I am out I will swich the lines and se if there is a differance.

Hey Snake,
The lines should all be equal length regardless of the leash set up. Check to see if the lines by themselves are equal and check your internal
settings to see if both wingtips are the same.
You're gonna love that kite.:singing:

It's a v1 so it only has a strap in the center. I'l double check the line length an make sure they are the same.
