Sean (Ssayre) is smack on. I have some tip tuck issues with my 9m P2 as well and need to fiddle with it a bit. First step IMHO is to fiddle with line lengths under the foam tubes on the two brake lines. Try sliding the foam tubes down the lines away from the bar and moving the larks head knots one knot farther away from the bar.

If that doesn't do the trick then I'd suggest doing a search here on PKF for "tip tuck". There was a thread (maybe even this one several pages back, I don't remember) where folks were providing all sorts of suggestions. Get ready for some lively discussion; there are a few "Peak haters" out there!

Finally, if all else fails you might consider reaching out to Chris (fewd) at Hardwater. I'm assuming here that you didn't buy your Peaks from him. If you did, skip ahead and contact him. He knows a TON about the Peaks.

Good luck!

Yep, I've read all things Peak on this forum and there is lots of good advice including a lot of things I haven't tried yet. After my first session with the Pk2 I moved the back lines to the outside of the bar, which seemed to improve stability and steering a bit. I also tried tweaking the B mixers, which might not have been the best idea after just flying it for 30 minutes. During my snow sessions I didn't make any further changes (because of all the, ehm, snow).

I'm going to take the kite out for a long light wind static session tomorrow and really try to pinpoint the problem. I'll try to reset the mixers as detailed in the Pk2 Manual, and then start over from the beginning, only tweaking one thing at a time with lots of testing inbetween.

Nice, logical approach. Please share any learnings. I'm always wanting to gain more knowledge and optimize those great, but somewhat finicky, single skins!

Sorry for the delay.
I did a ton of testing and this is the mixer setup that seems to work best. Does this look familiar to you?

I've never personally dared to mess with these. Chris (fewd) from Hardwater would certainly know more. He uses these in his school and has tons of experience. At this point my 9m is the only finicky one. My other three fly great so I'm not messing with them.

I would not have touched them either if there hadn't been a detailed reset description in the manual
