SETUP #3
STEP 3.1 - ATTACHING CONTROL LINES
Once you have completed SET UP 1 & 2, you are ready to connect your control system to your inflated kite.
• With your lines laid out, carry the kite to the end of the flying lines farthest
from your control bar. Make sure the leading edge is facing into the wind.
• Secure the kite with sand or sand bags. Do not secure kite with anything
sharp or abrasive.
• (CROSSBOW CS) You will notice four connection bridles on your kite (two
on each wingtip. There are three knots on each rear bridle and one larks
head loop on each front bridle. Utilize the middle knot on the rear bridle;
the other knots are there for tuning purposes. (Fig. 1)
• (POWERDRIVE CS) You will notice four connection bridles on your kite (two
on each wingtip) and the Frontline bridle. There are three knots on each rear
bridle and one larks head loop on each front bridle. The Frontline bridle has
a single knot for line attachment. Utilize the top knot on the rear bridle; the
other knots are there for tuning purposes. (Fig. 2)
• (POWERDRIVE CS)Attach the Frontline first. This will ensure that the other
lines are attached straight and you will not forget to attach the Frontline. Slip
the red larkshead loop onto the end of the Frontline Bridle. Give the knot a
tug to secure.
• Slip the knot on your yellow-sheathed de-power (center) line into the larks
head loop on the yellow bridle on the left wing tip of the kite. Give the knot
a tug to secure.
• Using a larks head knot on the sheath of your flying line, attach your yellow
steering (outside) line to the yellow bridle on the left wing tip of the kite.
Give the knot a tug to secure.
• Slip the knot on your black-sheathed de-power (center) line into the larks head loop on the black bridle on the right wing tip
of the kite. Give the knot a tug to secure.
• Using a larks head knot on the sheath of your flying line, attach your black steering (outside) line to the black bridle on the
