Thanks to all. I flew it yesterday in some pretty light winds. I was being thrown off by the really long leader lines. It looks like it will be an excellent kite to start learning tricks on. Even though it was slow because of the wind, it was much more precise than any I had flown before. It was easier to stall and invert too. Because of the light winds, I had to remove most of the weights. I’ll have to learn more on on how and when to use them. I’m pretty happy with the kite.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say thank you everyone for all your advice. We finally were able to figure out what the problem was. It ended up being a problem with the spine. A fitting that was at the top of the spine at the nose of the kite had slipped which resulted in making the spine shorter and loosing the sail. My husband was able to fix it and the kite is back in like new condition. Happy flying everyone! -Kite Girl

Video of my kite bridle, not fully set up due to a broken spar. The clip shows the connection to the upper leading edge with an adjustment knot, the connection to the center, and then to the lower leading edge, and out to the leader line. Finally, the short LE tension line. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fZywNEbrnW6822LW6 My own modification was melting a hole in the end cap and threading it through the tension line so it doesn't fall off or get lost. I think you are referring to the leader line. Connect your flying line to it.
