My 6.6m Blade 3 is flying like crap (climbing upwards and to zenith mostly). Plenty of slack in the rear lines, flown on 2 lines no change. What are the OEM/factory specs for riser stacking? Is it D row or brake line risers first, followed by C, B, and A rows or vice versa. Is it tip to middle risers or middle to tip? The current config is brake line risers (D row)/middle to tip, followed C row middle to tip etc and still flies poorly. Would appreciate any insight and assistance

strange that yours flies poorly, i have the same, and it flies great.....

Blade III bridle layout can be found here.

If you need actual segment measurements to verify for bridle stretch/slippage, you're going to have to contact Flexifoil directly or one of the US retailers.

Sadly with the exception of Flysurfer, posting bridle segment measurements isn't a real popular practice. :sniff:

You know the 3 series had a problem with bridle stretch (6.6, 8.5, 10.5) which is why FF made the bridle stretch kit for those kites. I think that may be more your problem and worth looking at.

thanks all...............by the pic I have it wrong......a, b, and c rows are clustered if you will..........reconfig and fly again...........my 8.5 flies great and has become a 5mph monster on Sullivan Island's sandbar.....................

B,

I do recall the strrrrrrrrrrrrrrretch issue....thank you. I forgot to mention this sail is as fresh and crispy as a new counter fit $20...........The 8.5 has alot more hours on her and flies great so my config has to be it........I goofed it up when I installed the AAA bridle adjuster.............:duh::duh::duh:
