One tip for getting good air on the Arc's - you want to have the kites riding fast and solid power so when you have the bar OUT you are feeling solid
pressure, now when you send the kite it will turn at a good speed and when you pull in on the bar you'll get the nice boost because you already have
pressure with the bar out - so pulling in now is the elevator ride.

Yes, I would squat and feel the tug at one-twoish w/ the bar out for speed, but I guess my timing seems off. It seemed like it'd tug, I'd pull, and
get little lift - then, when it seemed over, I'd start to feel a little secondary lift as it redirected and apexed. Seems like the strongest bar-up
tug was further over and back in the window - which tended to drag/land me fast and lateral more then lift me straight up.
I've found a how-to type help section on the phantoms somewhere, i thought it was here; concerning adjustments, line lengths, basically the
instruction manual for the phantoms, but now, i cannot find it... can someone shoot me a link... thanks!

right on , when the bar is slammed tight and all wicked out. quick turns in the full OUT bar position and full on juice when you pull it in.
when the bar SNAPS against the top ball with a thump YOU KNOW its gonna be a solid session.
