6. TUNING YOUR KITE
Advanced Tuning-Shift System
Tuning your kite to match your riding style is the key to maximizing
your fun. Small adjustments can greatly effect the kite' s perfor-
mance. We recommend using the standard setup until you become
familiar with the behavior of your kite. You can then adjust the
settings in a variety of ways (Please see diagram at right):
1.
Dynamically change the power of the kite by moving the control
bar up/down the gray center line (trim line). Sheeting in and out will
change the Angle of Attack.
2.
Statically change the Angle of Attack by adjusting the trim line at
the smart loop.
3.
Tune where full power is on your trim line to suit your riding style
by adjusting the Power Tuning Knots. There are three knots on the
leader lines and 2 knots on your front lines (only available on some
models). See Advanced Tuning on page 13 for more information.
4.
Modify the turning speed of the kite by attaching the flying lines to
one of the two attachment points.
Helix, Cult & Charger Bar Pressure:
If you want to increase the bar pressure there is an additional rear
line attachment point on the Helix (Toward the middle of the kite).
Bar End Flip:
Your bar has a plastic piece that can be removed and flipped 180
degrees to change the effective pull point of the steering lines. Pull
down on the tab to pull the plastic piece out. Because the piece has the
flying knot going through it, you will only get it to come part way out.
When you have enough slack, turn the piece 180 degrees and reinsert
into the slot. Carefully align the piece back into the slot to get it to fully
reseat. Repeat on the other bar end so that the knots are either both to
the inside or outside. The bar ends will flex under load and give you an
effectively new bar length.

View of kite from riders perspective. Kite in the neutral position directly
above the rider. Over sheeted wingtip (too much back line tension). Front
lines too long.
