Tuning a Pulse II


So I was watching the videos recently posted on tuning the mixer on a Flysurfer and I'm wondering how many of you who own a Pulse (or FS in general) actually tune the kite as opposed to play with the mixer to correct stretch and shrinkage.

My 6m Pulse II is currently on the stock settings it came with and I like the way it flies. Am I missing out on something by not tuning it? Is there a general consensus on whether it should be changed from the factory settings for better performance or just to better suit one's riding style?

if you like it on the factory setting and it flies good, dont touch anything

wait before doing a mixer test until it flies not as good, then you'll probably want to keep A=B=C=Z

some change the mixer (shorten B and C) to change the flying characteristic of the kite

watch these videos to understand the effect of the mixer:
