scorpion advice
Im having trouble with my peter Lynn scorpion 16m what setting did some of you find best with the straps? I landboard and I usually go for big jumps
my scorpion keeps dumping out the power. I'm flying with all my straps on 50%. When the kite moves fast across the window and I redirect it just loses
power. Even when it pivots fast i'm getting the smallest jumps. I can boost really high with my guerilla 13m, but I feel like a dumbass when I take
out the scorpion, please help. I'm tired of wasting flying time.

how does that affect your jumps? I find myself getting pulled forward instead of upward.

make sure you're sending the kite to zenith before you send it back. I was having trouble relearning how to jump with my P4 and i found my problem was
that since I came from the Pulse 2 which doesn't turn as fast. I was actually missing the Zenith on my redirect for a jump because the kite would turn
completely around and head the opposite direction low in the sky instead of turning up to zenith and then back to 11/2 o clock
try redirecting slower and edging hard and away from the kite hard for 2 seconds max to get a nice load and pop

yeah I noticed that I had to edge to build up power but the kite was losing power on the turn or if pivoted mildly. That's why I think it's the way
the internal strap are set
