Hi Redsky ,
Yes, Sorry for the disconnect of the Title, and the body of my posting. Almost -Non-sequiter
the Kite came with a Bridle, I connected Handles in the most simple and direct way, {Top handle lines to the leading edge bundles, }but it just
doesn't fly. the group of lines that come of the trailing edge, there is a Right and left bundle, but however I adjust the length,{my aim was to find
the point where the trailing edges R,L, are firm, but not 100% slack, and then some more tension as I apply brakes. But after 4 hours of
experimenting in respectable wind I couldn't see any improvement . Even with 3 meters slack on the trailing edge, and only tension on the leading
edge, there was zero lift { lines were parallel to the ground}.
I see that there are some extra spreaders with pulleys that came with the kite. maybe somebody before me took them off trying to simplify it, to get
it to fly.
I have a sence that I need a diagram with the lengths of each line, and the location of the Balancer or splitter that was removed to be reconnected to
the original bridle plan before this kite can start to act like a kite, not just a light duty tarpolin.
thanks to anyone who can help with some info on this Puzzle.

Hi Redsky
I took a couple of pictures and I think you can see the yellow lines in the top of the picture connected to the leading edge, and the red lines
connected to the trailing edge.
what I find is odd is the lines that travel across the connecting lines, maybe the purpose of these lines is to increase the Projected area { reduce
the <Anhedral> arch shape}
i just have to figure out how to upload these pictures to this Forum.
or could I send the pictures to your email?
here is a Right half and left half pic of the Jojo Rage, {If I could attach the files, Would be mission critical}
Thanks Roger
