LINE LENGTH CORRECTIONS
Adjustments are made by moving one or both of the knots on the ends of the leader lines. Your goal is to have all of your fl ying
lines the same length.
• If one of the steering lines is too long, loosen the knot (located inside of the bar end on the long side) and move it toward
the control bar.
• If one of the steering lines is too short, loosen the knot (located at the CAS) and move it towards the bars.
• Re-tighten the knot and check your line length again. Adjust again if necessary until the control bar is balanced.
• DO NOT put knots in your FLYING LINES. Knots in the fl ying lines compromise the life of the line. Put knots only in your
LEADER LINES.
• It is unlikely that your center de-power lines are uneven. If they are, you make the correction by adjusting the knot on the
center leader assembly. If the yellow sheathed line is too long, you will need to move the knot on the black line towards
the kite. If the same de-power line is too short, move the knot on the black line towards the bar.
• Once you’ve made the proper adjustment, check the bar again. All four lines should be the same length and the bar should
be balanced.
INCORRECT
If your bar is at an angle,
your leader line needs
adjustments.
CORRECT
Control bar is even
and parallel with your
shoulders
