just got a kite got questions


hi i just got a super 10 kite off ebay, i dont know if i got ripped off or not because i dont know any thing about them. it seems well made but i cant get it up in the air. i have a small 4 foot stunt kite to practice on, that works perfectly i hold it up and it goes. the big one just pulls out and even down. iv tried shortening the top lines, by tying knots in them. then i tried shortening the end stabalizer lines. that sort of worked i got the kite a foot above my head and it pulled me slowly along with help. i email the guy i bought it from to get pictures on how to set up the handles but he wouldnt. so i need pictures to see how to set up them, to me they seem cheap the line is both on one little wheel which seems to me would always be tangled and the handle has a hole at the top and bottom and is bent and 8 or 9 inches long. sorry for the long question.

The super 10 is a 2 line kite. Sounds like you bought it off someone who has no idea what he had. try www.flexifoil.com for pictures.

sam - there were a load of "Super 10's" going on e-bay that werent what we know as S10's. this is an example:

dale: have a look at this link - is this what you have ? it sounds to me like you have all 4 lines connected but the kite "sits down" bacuse the rear lines are over-braked. have a look at this site for some tips: http://www.flexifoil.com/roughguide/howto/basicskills/launch...
