  1. Please bear with me on this. I'm guessing this topic has been discussed to excess. But I need some insight. I guess you could call me a beginner. I still have an early Skynasaur to fly, but haven't tried the new-tech stuff. Always wanted a Hawaiian & finally picked up a brand new one. I know it's kind of old-teck..., but I'm not much into acrobatics or fancy tricks. I want the power, and I want real sails. A real wing. I'm stoked. Feel like a little kid. Can't wait for the weekend. When assembling it for the first time, I noticed that the bridle was installed backwards on one side. I figured out which way was right & reinstalled the wrong one (duh). The loops are rigged with the pen-mark centered. But that seemed to far back, to me. I moved it back 1/4" (moved the tip of the bridle forward by 1/4"). But that still seems to far back. I'll have time to experiment this weekend, but thought maybe I could short-cut that process a bit, with the benefit of an expert's wisdom. Can anybody out there provide me with some hints for optimum adjustment of the bridles? Front vs. back? Sideways? Much appreciate anything you have for me
