12.02 Little Connection Lines
The “Little Connection Line“ (LCL) allows
you to quickly exchange a bridle line and
also works as a predetermined overload
weak point that prevents the canopy from
getting damaged. Should an LCL break,
replace it with new one, in the same
colour (same breaking strength) LCL.
12.03 Repairing the Cloth
In case you get a small tear (e.g. through
contact with a sharp object) we have
included a repair kit with your kite. The
area that needs to be repaired must be
clean, dry and grease-free. Temporary
repairs are possible with spinnaker repair
tape, but the tear should be taped from
the inside of the kite. It is recommended
that you round off the edges of the repair
tape. There is the possibility to have a
professional repair done by us. We can
exchange whole parts of the canopy, so
that there will be no trace of the damage.
Tip:
When a tear is close
to a seam (less than 5cm),
we recommend to sew the
damage.
13 TRIMMING
As all lines change length over time,
we have built in a way to correct the
flying characteristics quickly and ea-
sily. It is very important that the Front
and Steering Lines are set-up equally
as described in the bar manual.
13.01 Mixer test
Tip
: We recommend to
mark the initial position
of the metal ring with a
marker. So you can always
restore the original position
and see exactly how much
the ring has been adjusted.
Sort out the mixer. Hold the
loops next to the little flags in
line from A-Z in one level.
Tension the mixer and secure the ends
of the front and steering lines (e.g. an as-
sistant can hold them). The position of the
lines should not change during the test.
