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. ;)

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".

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.
