Hi Greame
ReplyDeleteI use the different settings......
The rear attachment points as you probably know change turning speed. On my 11m I have it set on the slowest turning speed as its such a fast kite. Even on the slowest turning speeds its faster than the flexi atoms I used to fly.
there is two bridle attachment points. The one with '-' on it is the standard setting with good depower rate and quite light bar pressure. On this setting the kite also sits further forward in the window.
On the (+) setting The kite sits slightly further back in the window making it more grunty/better in light wind. I also makes the bar pressure slightly heavier which I prefer. this is the perfect setting for parking and popping.
hope this helps

cheers jamie,
ReplyDeletei normally just fly the gear n never change the settings!
will have a play around this weekend with it then.
I use similar settings to Jamie, but i also have the bar on the narrow setting too. The 11 remains perfectly manoueverable, and less likely to be inavertadently steered.
ReplyDeleteIf you have multiple kites, it's best to keep your bar to one setting and just change the pigtails on the various kites, so there's no messing around when you need to change up/down.
