The Kite Shoppe Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Two Things. The placement of the bridle, too high or too low. Second, add a tail to hold the bottom down. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caustickites Posted November 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well i have a tail on it 15 ft. and when i loward the bridle it still went crazy. it is a bit windy here in las vegas today. could that be a big factor?

cdcflyer Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I would say then it comes down to the actual design, Does it have a bridle? Is it in a traditional eddy shape or other? Is it aerodynamically sound? I would edit your post and for the subject line put "single line guys...HELP". They would probably have an answer.
