Total newbie with parafoil

[Bow]

Hi total parafoil newbie here.

I have flown a parafoil a few times at a friends in Flordia now I have the bug.

I bought a nice little dual line foil on ebay ,but I have no idea how to tie the

flight lines to the bridle or how to tell if the bridle they attached from the factory is correct.

For some strange reason it didn't come with instructions but did come with two sets of fly lines

handles and reels.

Is there a website with pictures on how to setup a parafoil or something to that affect?

Hi,

I don't know about parafoils specifically but if the bridle has an obvious 'pig tail' (a loose piece of the bridle with a small knot at the end), and if your flying lines end in a loop you can use the 'larks head' knot

the pig tail goes through the loop (in the third photo) and you tighten the larks head so that it sits tight up to the knot in the pigtail

Here's a tutorial on the Larks Head knot.

Hope this helps
