lines
Hi I have a brookite SkyFly two and have to replace the lines but I have taken the old lines off and don't know how to attache the new ones so they won't break - help please!!!
Yeah Brian, first throw away the instructions and get two winders. Wind each side (2lines) separatly and then make two trips to unwind the two sets of lines. Otheres will tell you ways to keep the tan...
...fety Hazard, I outlined some examples of why kiters need to respect the strength of their kites and kite lines at all times.
I couldn't agree more, it is very important to be responsible in e...
I have a question Ron. Why stake your lines?
I setup my kite 'ala' Flight School method (been doing it that way for 6 years).
First setup kite, attach lines, unwind lines, & last...
Hey. Assuming you are flying with 4 lines. Perhaps you had the same little problem that I also had when I flew the Velocity out of the bag. You have to shorten the traction/power lines by about 45cm. ...
Interesting method, but where comes the power from? It seems to be coming from the bottom lines instead of the top lines and if that's the case you will have to stear with the top lines?
...h thing as too much wind.
(although there are some fields that are too small...)
Try using short lines.
Try using *no* lines....
Another benefit to sleeving the loops of flying lines is that it offers a wear resistant cushion for the Spectra/Dyneema. If I attach my lines to the bridle (usually Spectra/Dyneema fully sleeved in d...
...NGS for years. They are a minimum two line kite often sold as a four. Personally I hate any kite on four lines. Check out dedicated web sites for flying NASA's on two lines. Of course with four l...
Hey, I can beat that! 2 weeks ago, I was flying the Jam Session Millennium on 66 meter lines (being 2 33m lines knotted together). Here also, taking my height and arms in account, let's assume it...
There is a much more certain way. When laying out the lines spike a ground stake at the upwind end and place all four end loops over it. Walk the lines out and then tension all four at once using your...
hi
i got this kite as a gift knowing nothing about kiting and fly the kite with two lines no prob.

I shortened the li...

...els a bit like voodoo to me) but I seem to need a descent wind (6-7mph to howling). An equal pop to both lines, immediate slack, watch for the nose to rise, then an immediate pop on both lines to catc...

The 3D weighs next to nothing and drifts downwind in the slightest breeze. Unless you allow the lines to remain slack during a backflip or lazy susan (especially the lazy susan), the lines wi...

what kind of kite : 2 or 4 lines ? regards
It's me again!! Got that OK Wayne, but there was something about extending train lines if the 2nd,3rd

The bridal lines have to be the same lengths (of course).
How is the drogue connected to the kite? The...
I have seen another type of brake that attaches between the tow points and the flying lines. Haven't tried them so can't say how well they work.
Before you buy.
Do you think i would waste £25 of lines or £150 of kite on killing an enemy.
Avada Kedavra would be far more swift
my bathroom is a terrible place to fly, you trip over the toilet, get your lines caught on the sink, it's just a nightmare...

I have a stylus 2.8 that I was given and have never flown. I don't know how the tension lines are supposed to be rigged. Can anyone sen me a diagram or explain it step by step?

There is also some very kewl footage of Carl Robertshaw, flying a Matrix on short lines, that is Amazing, towards the end of the tape....
...is kite? I was thinking of using my existing Windtech bar but attaching the leash directly to one of the lines so it would pull on one side if I let go.
Any thoughts would be great.

the nice thing about heavier lines is it slows the kite a lot, which is great if you are flying in conditions too strong for the kite, or are just plain new to kiting.

Hi Kathy, the sand dunes national park near Correlejo. Many go for a few weeks, and fly large single lines there everyday. The festival starts on Friday, but there are probably a few flying kites now....
...itely! The 3D is a nice kite but I prefer to use it outdoors in very light winds on 20' or 30' lines. I also have the Pi's predecessor, the X4i and find it better indoors also.
