AHHHH HELP!!!! (Blade IV)
Yo guys,
Right; this is one for you clever technical people who know about flexifoils 4 line + crossover systems.
Basically, a friend of mine was out kiting with me, and asked to use my Blade IV 6.5m. I abliged, and went off for a run down the beach on me board,
was in the mood for a cruise, so left him to it.
Came back, and he had somehow managed to tangle the lines up; panic, and proceed to detach the lines, and completely undo all the lines. I'm pretty
sure the crossover lines go around some/all of the bridles, but cant remember if thats right, or if they even do.
Anybody have this kite which they could get a picture of the bridles, and crossovers... or know of where you can get technical pictures from flexifoil
to show how to sort out this mess!
I've got a nice bit of 15-25mph (not gusting, its just going to build over a few days) coming my way in a few days time, so want to be ready and
waiting with me fave kite!!!
Cheers guys!

easy,
start with the right crossover bridle at the kite, run it between the power and brake bridles thru the left metal loop and back to the right leader
coming off the AOA/ power bridle, larks it and you there--repeat for left side. Just make sure the COB runs between main and brake leaders.

A pic of how not to do them. Make sure your cross o bridle in under a and b bridles, and over c bridle or the brakes!
