The so-called mixer is attached to the flying lines. It use the steering impulses of the front and
back lines and steers the A-, B-, C- and Z- or braking level.
The lines guided over the pulleys are wear and tear parts of course. These 150 cm spare part
lines are made of special not pre-stretched Dyneema sheeting, in order to to keep the shrink
as small s possible. To achieve an optimal flight performance we recommend to implement the
mixer test after about 50 flight hours, to guarantee an optimal trim of the kite throughout
the years.
MIXERTEST implementation:
To be able to control the trim of the kite you can easily apply the mixer test no matter where
you are.
The following description refers only to one side of the kite. The mixer test must be implemen-
ted seperately and symmetrically for the left and the right hand side.
The upper end of the mixer ends with these 4 lines: the A, B, C and Z (or Brake) line.
The lines A and Z (Z= red or green steering line) are not adjustable. The length of the B and C
levels (lines which respectively end at the pulleys)
can be adjusted at the plastic balls next to the pulleys.
Steps:
1. Open the WAC-line at the adjustment knot for hard/soft-steering, these could otherwise
block the mixer test.
2. Put a pin or something simi-
lar through the loops at the up-
per end of the A, B, C and Z-line.
The correct position is slight-
ly above the little hard/soft stee-
ring flags, see pic.
