How do i assemble a kite for the first time?
Hi :D
Today i received my first kite. Is is an Ozone Flow 3m kite with handles. But when i look at all these parts (Handles, Lines and kite) I really dont
know how to assemble these parts. I have been searching the web but i can only find vids with people, who are setting a kite up witch is assembled.
Can anybody help me? :D

Since it has been mentioned, Ozone tried to make setup for the Flow 3M a tad easier.
At the loops at the ends of the flying (power & brake) lines there are little numbered tabs.
#1 goes from the left hand power leader on the left hand control handle to the left hand power bridle leader.
#2 goes from the left hand brake leader on the left hand control handle to the left hand brake bridle leader.
#3 goes from the right hand brake leader on the right hand control handle to the right hand brake bridle leader.
#4 goes from the right hand power leader on the right hand control handle to the left hand power bridle leader.
See that attached picture for details (this diagram should also be on page 12 of your manual).
