John Barresi Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Looking good, the only recommendation I have at the moment is to ADD a minimum of 3-4" to the top attachments ("leaders") of your handles, link below has more details. http://kitelife.com/forum/topic/5530-pigtails-tuning-your-rev-with-knotted-leaders/page-3#entry37698 Sadly, the EXP does not come with this VERY necessary and cheap adjustment, will make a world of difference in control. My own top leaders are closer to a 10" offset, FYI... Running average offset for most fliers (even intermediate) is probably between 4" and 8". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makatakam Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Lookin' good. Keep 'em comin'. Letting the top lines out a couple or three knots with help tremendously with control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Aye, so much so that you might be surprised at how good you actually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Another side note... Notice the fluttering sound when you fly the kite forward in that video, and it "takes off" a bit? You'll know you've got really good tuning when you can fly forward and not generate a lot of sound doing it. Also, any inequality in R/L line lengths will become more pronounced - be SURE to equalize them after 4 hours of airtime or so, then check a couple of more times over the following few months before they finally settle in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
