2. Make sure the lines are free of twist and tangles. Now attach them to
the kite as shown on the diagram.
One set of lines should be attached to the depower set and to the
top attachments on the kite.
The other set of lines should be attached to the ends of the bar
and to the bottom attachment points on the kite.

A simple method to ensure that
your flying lines are attached
properly is doing it in the follo-
wing order, as shown on the
right:
1. Place your flying lines all untan-
gled in a straight line so the
sleeves are lying past the
downwind tip. First attach the
rear line to the upwind tip.
2. Now attach the top line to the
upwind tip, taking it over the
rear line you have just atta-
ched.
3. Take the other top line and
attach it to the downwind tip,
passing it over the kite.
4. Attach the rear line to the
downwind tip and you are
ready to launch your kite with
the assurance of untangled
lines!
