UPDATE: No longer available, but comparable leader kits with template are available from Kite Forge. https://kiteforge.com/product/djinn-pro-leaders/ == For anyone who needs them, we have Pro Leaders available in the KiteLife shop! These are tied to my specifications, each one precisely made by former iQuad member @TAKAKO using only the best quality cored bridle line. These are complete sets, including two longer top leaders and two shorter bottom leaders (4 pieces total). Tuning tips: After installing, set lines on the very end knot of each leader and try to launch - if launching is too difficult, shorten the top knot by one and try again, repeat until the kite feels "full" and gives you a good launch. The bottom knots are for quick equalization of your bottom lines (very important) which can vary every time you swap kites or lines due to the small variances in stretch for both lines and bridle, if one bottom left line feels a little longer, shorten accordingly. == Grab yours now - http://kitelife.com/forum/store/category/5-accessories/ And if you already have yours, we'd LOVE to hear about your experience with them via a reply here.

Hello, I 've been flying my B series revs the last the three months using the knots suggested in the video that came with the kite. I can manage all the slides and hovers. Recently, someone suggested that I should fly with a longer pigtails because that's is how Team Iquad fly. Being a newbie, I took the suggestion and made some longer pigtails and fly at the most outer knots at possible. The problem is I am not sure why I am doing so. Can someone explain the principal behind this? Thanks!
