Fifa Inspected

Thanks for the link... I made a slight adjustment to the bridle and should be able to get some flying time tomorrow to do some test flights. Thanks again.

CDC, Thanks for the response, I appreciate your willingness to help me out. Does the Addiction have an adjustable bridle or will I need to "get mechanical?" Are there any do's and don'ts when it comes to adjusting a bridle?

Good Afternoon Everyone.... Finally, an active kite forum with more than 3 post for the month... I bought my first sport kite about 10 years ago.. It was a Chicago Fire - Dart (I believe).. It's been years since I've flown and (as luck would have it) attended the Great Lakes Kite Festival this past weekend, needless to say, my kite interest is now at an all time high. While my wife was packing the kids in the car, I was able to make a sprint to the huge tent filled with zillions of kites for sale. After a few conversations, I walked out with the Addiction, from Premier Kites. The next day I made it to an open field and put her in the sky... Or at least attempted. She was very loose and would not track at all... She did however stall with no problem, or for any real apparent reason. With the kids patience fading I packed it in for the day without knowing anything more about my new Addiction. I tried again today. I left the office and headed to a near by park. Initial results were the same. Loose and prone to stall. In looking closely at the Bridale I noticed things did not look quite right. I made a few adjustments and tried it again. The result was noticeable as the kite seemed to grab more air and fly with more authority. She did however still seem to stall a bit too easy. For example, If I were to put her in a few sharp spins she stalls out... Feels like a car that suddenly hit a patch of ice. The recovery from stall was also lengthy as well. Two Questions 1. What is the proper tuning / setup for this kite? How does moving the standoffs affect teh flight characteristics of the kite...etc.... 2. Also.. On a side note..Whats the best way to avoid the tangled mess that is unwinding the lines using the stock lines and plastic line holder? It took me 15 minutes to get my lines untangled. I'm thinking of just keeping the lines separate to avoid the mess altogether. Thanks in advance.. I'm really looking forward to learning from this community as I start honing the skills I never took the time to pursue years ago... Like landing and tricks
