b) Kite pulls into one direction if you let go off the bar
This behaviour can be caused by various asymmetric exposures (e.g. kiteloops always into the
same direction).
1. Implement the mixer-check on both sides (see chapter 15.1.) and make sure that the kite is
correctly adjusted both on the left and right hand side.
2. Compare the length of the depower flying lines: for this purpose unwind the lines and fix the
depowerloop on a stable object. Grab the depower flying lines at the upper end and tighten
them. If there is a difference in length, the shorter depower flying line can be re-stretched.
(Put e.g. a screw driver through the loop at the upper end of the line to be able to grab the end
easily or wrap the line various times around the hook of your harness. Now stress the line
repeatedly with as much power as possible, max. 150 kg.)
If it doesn`t suffice, you might loop the enlarged depower flying line also once on the bar at the
ring of the depower leader line.
3. If the kite still pulls to one side after having implemented point 1 and 2, compare the
individual bridle lines of the right and left side with each other. For this purpose stretch
and compare, if possible with a helper, the same line from the right and left hand side
respectively with each other.
Adjustments of little deviations can be made by stretching the lines under a load of max. 50 kg.
Otherwise the most upper bridle lines (top lines) which are attached at the LCL`s can be used
to shorten the bridle lines.
4. If the kite didn`t show any asymmetries after having realized point 1,2 and 3 you can
simply trim the kite by slightly shortening the B-lines on one side with a loop(see line setup,
the B-lines are the second line alignment counted from the leading edge).
If your kite pulls to the right side, shorten some B-lines on the left side preferably starting
from the wingtip to the centre.
