That ships with 30 m (100') x 100 kg lines. For the brake lines, I would use 70 kg line.

You could get the 35 m 70 kg 2-Line set - HQ part no. 12039601 and use the extra 5m to make a simple bridle. These are knotted sets so it is easy to untie them and shorten to 30 m and save the extra.

you would have to sew little tabs into the traiing edge to fit the brake bridles.

I have not done this though, and am not sure what the result would be or if worth the effort.

Thanks the though came to me wile flying the other day. It performs well in my inland winds but I like being able to brake and stall out the kite in case it gets away from me.

Does your symphony have a little loop in the center of the trailing edge??? I had thought of making mine a 3 line with that as an attachment... no clue if it would have worked or not, though.

That loop would be for securing the bridles for packing. By itself I am not sure it would be effective with a third line to it. I would cut some stitches in the trailing edge near ribs and sew in some fabric tabs for bridle attachements- probably 3 per side.
