it all depends on your flying style tuneing leaders are diffrent with all kites youll have to do your knots as you fly youll notice a diffrence in pull responce and reverse control as well as haveing settings for diffrent wind speeds my leaders for my blast are 10 inches long with 10 knots 1 inch apart but you might find that a diffrent setting might be better for you so it all depends on what is comfortable foy you and you can do it at the field by just makeing a knot 1 inch from the first knot just make sure you use a leader line that you can untie bridle line works good you can also buy a spool of 100 foot 300 # singlt line dacron its thick and holds knots well and you can tie and untie knots eazly with no hastle good luck to you let me know how you do
