STEP 3.3 - UPWIND LAUNCH SETUP (Bar upwind of kite)
• Lay the bar 30 meters upwind of the kite. The leading edge
will be pointed toward the bar and into the wind. The wing tips
of the kite will be facing away from the bar. The control bar
should be right side up.
• (POWERDRIVE CS) Walk out the Frontline (red) line and attach
to the Frontline bridle. {IMG}
• (CROSSBOW CS) Lay out the Crossbow Bridle. {IMG}
• Walk out the steering (outside) lines and place them parallel to
each other on the ground about 4 feet apart near the kite (re-
member, yellow-sheathed lines on the left and black-sheathed
lines on the right).
• Place the steering lines far apart, so the kite will lie between
them.
• Walk out the de-power (center) lines and place them in
between the steering lines, parallel to each other, so that all
four lines are lined up as follows (left to right): yellow-sheathed
yellow line, yellow-sheathed white line, black-sheathed white
line, black-sheathed black line. The lines should not cross each
other or be twisted.
• Place the kite on top of the de-power lines and Frontline so the
wing tips of the kite are pointing downwind and are near the
ends of your steering lines.
• Make sure the kite is still secured with sand or sand bags.
• (POWERDRIVE CS) Attach the Frontline to the Frontline bridle.
• From outside of the kite, attach the steering lines to the
corresponding back bridles on the wing tips (remember, yellow-
to-yellow; black-to-black). Using larks head knots, attach the
steering lines to the upper knots on the bridles. Give each knot
a tug to secure.{IMG of both systems}
• From inside the kite, slip the knots on each of the de-power
lines into the larks head loops on the corresponding leading
edge bridles (remember, yellow-to-yellow; black-to-black). Give
each knot a tug to secure.
• Again, double check to make sure that your lines do not cross
each other, and are not twisted.
Your kite is now ready to fly
Please see the sections of this manual that relate to safety and make sure you are familiar with the conditions before getting on
