Thanks for the tips stroke and John. Really helpful, I've linked up with some guys but unfortunately, differing schedules have made it very tough to meet up regularly, so I've basically been going at it solo since the first meetup. I've checked the line equalizations and stuff and upon further examination, I've found that my handles do tend to sag - I move them or position them like that without thinking. I haven't tried the De'one guys, will try to look them up. Also, no worries about the subscription John, thanks for your help! Also, stroke, you mentioned that when the kite is going into a fall, I'm supposed to 'give', that is, I should be moving towards the kite and tyring to keep the lines slack right? But the kite would still land somewhat 'hard' right? But I guess, not as badly as when it's being pulled out the sky in panic. Nearly forgot, I bought the JB series so it's got the handles with the adjustable knots. I've been flying using the outermost knots.

Hi there, I'm new to flying quads and was out the other day for my second round of flying with a Rev. Wind was pretty good but fluctuating at times. What a fiasco it was. My main issue involved the kite flopping back when I tried to slow/control it's descent by pushing on the brake lines (top of handles). The kite kept flopping back such that the leading edge was facing me, then the madness began - because of this flopping, the kite tended to wrap itself around the lines or cause massive tangles. This line chaos meant about 15 min of tracing the knots and dealing with them. Also, the kite tends to turn to either side after I get it upwards - the lift is fine, but a while after it reaches the 'apex' or a comfortable height, the kite just turns suddenly to one side; or loses power. I understand the bit about being outside of the wind window and I've tried hard to keep my hands close together. Could it be that I'm subconsciously holding the handles in such a way that they're unbalanced? I can easily get the kite to turn around to undo this unwanted turn but as soon as I do that, the kite just rolls into a loop towards the other side. Applying too much correction? There's a definite lag in terms of my line input and the action motion of the kite - is that normal? Lots of questions I know, but I'd be awfully appreciative of any help! Not giving up on this! Thanks! Ben.

Hi there, I've just subscribed to kitelife and I'm now able to post messages and stuff but I still cannot download any files.
