Jorge,
> there is a mesh with velcro on the top
That's the spoiler, for really high wind conditions. I've seen a couple of different variations on attaching it. I have a regular Phoenix, and could take some pictures for you if you still need help with it.
For normal flying, though (winds up to 30 kph or so), you shouldn't need to bother with it. When it's that windy you're meant to put the kites away, settle down in a quiet spot and open up a good cerveza ...

Hi Godric, I found the way to attach it as it is shown in the following link:
http://ralf.naujoks2...x-inside-e.html
What other variations could be done? If you a pic for this, please send it to my email is jorgearellanovital@hotmail.com.
Top winds here are 20-25kph, so I think I wont use it for a while, but if the winds get stronger Im sure there are going to be some coronas in the cooler.
Have a good day
Jorge

Jorge,
The other variation I've seen attaches the stretchy loops to the bridle, so the mesh is more or less perpendicular to the sail (is the description clear, or shall I set mine up that way and post a picture to the forum?). The idea of that approach is to create a "wind shadow" that covers most of the sail, since in forward flight the wind is always moving from leading edge to trailing edge.
My own view is that if the wind is blowing that hard I'm going to want that air brake secured to something more substantial than the bridle!
Take wing --

I think I have figured out Paul, thanks for your reply.
