The Flying Lines are all 21m long and “pre-stretched”. Still, the Depower Flying Lines will
stretch approx. 5 cm in comparison with the Steering Lines due to the higher load. The
trim is adjusted to this.
Na After the Flying Lines, the Mixer is joined. It picks up the steering impulse from the
Front and Back Lines and controls the A-,B-, C- and Z- and the brake level respectively. The
lines, which run over the Pulleys, are naturally wear parts. These spare part lines are con-
structed of special, unstretched covered Dyneema, in order to minimize shrinkage. We re-
commend performing a Mixer Test after approx. 50 hours of kiting, to ensure optimal trim
of your kite.
Carrying out the Mixer Test:
To control the trim of your kite, you can carry out the Mixer Test simply and almost anywhe-
re. The following procedure applies to only one side of the kite. The Mixer Test must be car-
ried out separate and symmetrically for the right and left side.
The upper end of the Mixer ends with 4 Lines , the A, B, C and Z (or brake) Line. Lines A and
Z (Z= red, respectively green Steering Line) are not adjustable. The B and C levels (lines
which end at the pulleys) can be adjusted in length at the metal ring which is found near
the pulleys. Small flags on the individual lines make orientation more simple.
steps:
1. Make sure that the WAC-Lines for the hard
& soft steering adjustment are not under ten-
sion, when you hold the Mixer under tension.
2. Take the A and Z level in hand and bring both
to one level. this is very important! Hold the li-
nes in this fixed position.
3. Then hold both lines firmly (Front and Back
Lines) at the lower end of the Mixer (near
the ELC). The easiest way is with a helper
or put your foot on the Lines near the ELCs.
Then tension the Mixer and be careful not to
change the position of the A- and Z- levels!
remark: The elCs must not end lay exactly on the same level. It is only important that
the Mixer is tautly pulled with the Front and Back Flying lines.
4. Take now the C- and B- levels bit by bit. In ideal cases, all levels should end up on the
same level. If B and C do not end up on the same level, you can adjust the lines as de-
scribed on the next pages.
remark
: it is practical to mark the starting position with a pen. This way you can establish
your starting point again and see exactly how much you have adjusted.
start adjusting the
C level as this will move the B level automatcally half the way!
Loosen the position of the metal ring, in which you
loosen the looped line. According to whether the
line should be lengthened or shortened, push the
ring in the desired direction and pull the line tight
again.
