tuning Need leaders for your quad?

Not at all. On 2 counts.

1 - this handle is attached to the simulator rig I use during the webinars, it's tuned to balance against a bungee rig.

2 - even if it was on a flight knot, it changes a lot for me because I have various sets of lines with various amounts of stretch (top lines).

I supposed at some point I should perfectly balance a set of lines and figure out what the "normal" knot range would be for me - been a while since I've done more than pursue balanced R/L bottom lines (by feel).

Even your bungee rig is tuned for the conditions 🤣

Gospel.

The handles have to give more or less the right realm of feedback or it throws everything off.

Simulator rig, bungee rig?!?!🤯
After a quick search for quad kite simulator, a piece of bungee, a swivel, and short line set, we were flying.
Thanks for the inspiration and information.

Just received and installed my KIteForge leaders last night! I am super stoked, I ordered a pair of JB 13" handles with the leads installed and 2 other leaders sets to modify my Rev handles.

Installation was easy, pulled the factory rubber caps from rev, untied the stock lines and then used a sew-all needle to pull the new leaders back through the cap - it took some time and patience to get the knots parallel and equal on both handles but I couldn't be happier. More adjustment overall and a bunch more positions to fine tune!

Can't wait to try them out with my new short lines! Thanks John!
