POWERLOCK CS3
In order to replace your control system’s flying lines, you must first remove the existing flying lines from the leader lines. You
may then attach new flying lines to the current leader lines, assuming the leader lines are in an acceptable condition.
Connect Your New Flying Lines to the Leader Lines
• Lay your control system face up on the ground approximately 30 meters away from a post or tree to which you will be
attaching your lines in order to check that the lengths are even (see Step 1.2).
• Unwind and lay out the color-coded FLYING LINES between the post and the control bar. You will have two sets of lines-
the front (or inside) DE-POWER LINES and the back (or outside) STEERING LINES
• Make sure your flying lines are not twisted or crossed. Do this by walking down your lines, separat-
ing them from each other. Once you have them separated, lay them down in this order from
left to right while looking from your control bar toward the end of the lines: yellow steering line,
yellow-sheathed white de-power line, black-sheathed white de-power line, black steering line.
Replacing Steering(rear) flying lines:
• You will connect the steering lines to the rear leader with a “larks head to larks head” connection.
• Push the loop at the end of the rear leader through the loop of the flying line.
• Push the kite end of the flying line through the loop of the rear leader.
• Pull the entire flying line through the rear leader loop and pull to secure the connection.
Replacing De-power(front) flying lines:
LEFT (yellow) - You will connect the left de-power line to the CAS leader by a “larks head to larks
head” connection.
• Leave the short leader in place on the CAS.
• Push the loop at the end of the rear leader through the loop of the flying line.
• Pass the end of the flying line through the the stainless steel rectangle and over the red grab
ball.
• Pull the flying line back through the rectangle and towards the top of the leader. Pull to secure
the connection.
RIGHT (black) - You will connect the right de-power(front) line to the CAS leader by a “larks head to knot” connection.
• Create a larks head loop with the flying line.
• Place this loop over the knot at the top of the leader. Pull the loop tight to secure the connection.
• Your flying lines are now connecteed to your leader lines, and you are ready to make sure that all of your lines are even.
