try this and let me know how you get on

I hope this makes sense
All adjustments on the power only, legs A & C. When you adjust A it works on C auto
In the pics I refer to wingtip, centre and inner. This is working my way back from the wingtip to the centre to the inner.

Step 1 = remove those silly pressik loops on the first setting point and then follow the adjustments on my pictures. They do hold steady so dont worry to much. Once your happy you can mark it and make an extra knot.

In the pictures the kite is always to the left.



A to the first knot



A&C in the middle of first and second knot



A =20mm
C = 45mm







This setting works fine on my W5-4. It seems to take away the worst of the ''I'll rip your arms off to start'' but creates some fine speed upwind and downwind. I let Freeman fly it set like this while I chased on the factory set W5-5 and he left me for dead. Me in a Cameleon on bigfoots and him on a Winddragon Xc on barrows. Being the more expierenced pilot I should have whipped him but I could not catch him.

Next test was against Boz. I gave him the W5-5 and I used the W5-4. He was on a Tornado with bigfoots and weights etc. I pulled away from him upwind and downwind. We swapped and it was me fighting to catch.

The w5-4 now has the same feel as a Yak to me. Nice and soft when you set off and then generates lots of speed whereas the W5-5 has lots of raw power but doesnt quiet get the speed. Will need a dry day no to check how it compares when both are set the same.

I hope my ramblings have not bored you as yet!

Cheers
