    Wayne's got it.

    Generally closer to 3/4"-1" on a first tightening.

    It can't be corrected in some sails, has nothing to do with tuning and everything to do with paneling and/or how flat the sail is when sewn.

    Please be advised, I will be traveling August 4-11 so I might be a little tardy on this drawing but I will do my best.

    When comparing models side by side, listen for undue "flutter" or sail rattle, also keep one eye toward wrinkles in the sail in mid-flight. If the trailing edge is fluttering even while you have enough brake in the tuning, wind is spilling, or something isn't being held tight. If the fabric shows wrinkles during flight, it's not well pressurized in that area of the sail.

    Too late, I went down to about 15 or so before we left on our big trip last year.

    All you'll ever want to know about dogstake... http://kitelife.com/kl-archive/issue-81-around-the-bend/ Of course, a tutorial is on the to-do list.

    You can see the "snap axels" (diving and across the window) in this video, albeit through a dogstake. You can see how fast it puts you into axel position, and depowers the kite at the same time.

    I owned 83 Revs at one time... I've been trying to cut back a bit.

    I didn't really like the Widow Maker for quite a while, but recently had a chance to throw the nose further back than usual (lowered bridle point) and had a really good time with it.
