For most Bridles I would think so, depending on whether they're setup, ABC or AB-CD...

Get it right, too many pies,

Ken, he's got the pumpkin from me. Seems towing me, betty, and a trailer buggy with an adult while the bridal's wet is a bad idea, give it a year of that and the bridal's stretched just a wee bit. I added it up, that kite's been dragging around 600-700lbs for over a year now, It's been my main tandem buggy engine.

Ok, Pies:yes:

Hopefully, after the bridle tweak, it'll get a new shot of color & look like a pumpkin again too... Tweaked each & every, A bridle knot, "AT" the kite last night by about 1" shorter, (talk about some TIGHT knots) should bring it back closer to the range of the adjustment line, will see what it does, when I get some wind...

Update: Had the 9.0mē out today, but wasnt able to give it a good flight in the LIGHT winds I had at the Park (0-1-2-3-4mph) wind at most... Was able to keep it up for about 15min. at 1 point so I must have had a steady shifting 3-4 mph...

Flew to the top of the window several times & stayed there for 30sec. so shortening all the A Lines by 1" helped in lowering the wind range of the kite & was still stable (as long as theres ANY wind) Now for some STEADY 5+mph...
