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.
• You will notice four connection bridles on your kite (two bridles 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)
• Slip the knot on your yellow 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, 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 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, attach your black steering (outside) line to the black bridle on the right wing tip of the kite. Give the
knot a tug to secure.
