you spin me round round baby right round....


Hey, I've just bought my first kite (3.5m bullet) after trying a friend's kites. First a 1.9m then a 4.9m Blade. I had no trouble with either of his, but the first time I took mine out today I kept experiencing a rotation of the right line. Is it me? or could it be anything to do with the way the kite is set up??? Would it have anything to do with how tight/loose the brake lines are?
I was flying on a beach, and the wind was a perfect offshore 3-5.
Any help/tips would be WELL appreciated... I know it must get annoying having all these NEWBIE questions

Hmmm... maybe there should be a section for "virgin flyers"?!?!

Cheers then!

Good choice for your first kite:thumbup:
First off, check to see that all of your lines are equal length. Then make sure that the knots on your lear lines coming off the handles are equally placed (I am assuming that you are using handles since you are asking about the break lines). A difference in line lengths is what comes to mind first w/o seeing you fly the kite. I'm sure that others will have some more suggestions for you on here too that will help.

I fiddled with the lengths on the brake lines and that sorted it. I had tied knots becuase the lines were too long on first use, and they must have been a little different in length... cheers anyway.
