Line lengths

[Talonnz]

Hey all

Was out flying today and realized that my left line is about 4/5cms longer the right. I was wondering was the best way to go about fixing this?

I did a seach but having trouble finding easy information.

Thanks

Here you go.

This is for 4 line kites but the method is exactly the same for duals, it's an easy job.

Hey thanks for that.

Just had a look through that and went to do it but found there are no knots on the lines,they are sewed.

I have a peter lynn impulse 2.0, 2 line, on a bar if that helps.

Sorry for being a pain. I can put pics if need be.

Hi Nick,

Tie an overhand knot along the stitched length of the longest line and remeasure,

with luck that should reduce the split to a minimum !

With lightweight sleeved lines such as used on Revs a single overhand knot reduces the length by about 1 cm.

Try it, if it does not work simply untie !

Stiched loops are a pain! I'd unpick the stitching and just adjust and knot them.

Or you can try stretching the shorter line. Take a can of pop with the soda still in it and wrap the shorter line around the can tightly. Leave it like that for a week. Unwrap and check.
