Mujician Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Is there a recommended string length for a kite? I have an HQ symphony 1.3. Its the smallest of their 'power' kites. I have lots the handles and so my new straps and line has arrived and I wondered how long I should measure the string. Many thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmadz Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Since it's smaller, you probably don't want anything longer than 20-25m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windpoacher Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 The longer it is ...The bigger the wind window - the slower the kite will Fly... The Shorter it is ....The smaller the wind window - The Faster the Kite will Fly... Enjoy !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 My Symphony Beach 1.3 came with #50 x 25 meters. I've found the length a little long in the lower 1/2 of the wind range but perfect above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
povlhp Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 According to the webpage, the Symphony Beach III 1.3 comes with 2x25m 100lbs blend line. I fly it on those below listed wind range, but it is not too great. Have some thinner ligther dynema lines, which are better, and increases wind range down a bit. I can see that Peter Lynn seems to favour 18 meters these days. Just checked their new Uniq Play 1.0 (single skin) The line weight introduce drag. But longer lines gives a larger wind window. You can fly further before having to turn. Shorter lines, and you get a smaller playing field. You could consider 2 sets of lines depending on conditions. A thin 15m set,like 50 lbs, and a 100 lbs 25m set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
