Adjust/make a foil fly.


bought an Pansh Aurora 12m that do not fly any good...problem is that its overflying and then tips over and uncontrolled moves backwards.

Tried first to just shorten the backlines without any luck.

Interchanged the A and Z Bridles, about 6 cm diff making the A longer and Z shorten. The kites was flying much better but still overflies, but not as much. All lines equal on the boom.

Today i Tried to shorten the b line about 5-6 cm but this made the kite completely unrponsive, but it did not overfly 😁

Any suggestions for stopping a foil to overfly?

Brgds.

A lot of kites overfly. That in itself is not a problem. Is this your first depower?

You post nothing about yourself, nothing about tha area you fly, nothing about the wind speed, and you ask about a kite from a company that doesn't give a crap about anything but money.
Read the manual for the kite. hahaha
Did you do a Pansh search here before you bought the worst kite company product? If the kite is able to fly out of the bag, chances are you are not flying it in the appropriate wind conditions. Some kites need more wind in order to fly correctly.
Excuse me if I Call you a newbie because of your first post here is about a Pansh that needs tuning......

Welcome to PKF and congrats on a new kite. Unfortunately Pansh can be a crap shoot on quality control for the bridle but it's priced so affordably they're hard to say no to.

From my experience the key first steps to a potential Pansh bridle issue are:
1. Measure and make sure both sides are the same length/look for possible discrepancies. Keep these written down given part 2 (in case you get a major issue with a section)
2. Their bridles are often not "burnt in". Kind of like a car engine can behave differently the first thousand or so miles, the bridle may need time to stretch and adjust as Pansh bridles I've had issues with not being prestretched properly. Ive had a Pansh go from trashy to near perfect flight with no adjustment needed after giving it a few hours airtime.
3. (Non-Pansh Specific) B mixer will affect responsiveness and flight characteristics, but often isn't the case of a major issue and more involved with tuning to fly better.

The Pansh Forum has a lot better and in depth details on tuning that kite and will have people who I'll measure their bridles to see of yours happened to get shipped with it off. As an example scroll down but in the comments on http://www.extremekites.com.au/reviews/kites/pansh-a15-r33/?... and you'll see talk of a 20cm issue on a z line depower Pansh that was causing overfly.

The Aurora isn't known for bad overfly so I'm guessing it's a bridle issue more than condition or pilot experience, but you sharing both might help us get a better base to try and help you get things working or make more constructive suggestions.

Hi,

Thx for the inputs, maybe ill just try and put the kite grounded hooked to the brakelines for an hour so the lines stretch. It is just dangerous to fly it right now...

Im not new to kiting,been kiting for about 10 year with both foils(speed,phsyco4, extacy) and with inflatables. But im trying to go hydrofoiling in sub 10 knots on a shoestring, building plywoodboard and also buying the cheapest High ar kite, a project so to speak. :)

But was hoping that maybe there was a guide in tuning foils like shorten the A lines then this happens, make the b line longer and this happens etc and this forum seemed like a good placering to start.
