I've got mine on 5 lines with the knots in the rear Y bridle (to get both lines the same length). I've moved the pigtails around as the
Slingshot mods suggest, I've also taken the grey pigtails off the pulleys (4 line), and added them to the rear lines as well. The kite
might still be a bit over sheeted, but after talking in depth with the dealer, I can trim this by cleating off 10-20cm of front line.
We will just have to wait and see, but I will be looking for a launch, with a possible quick catch if I've got the set-up wrong !!!. If
it flys as good as it looks, I can't wait !!. Will put it back to 4 lines once the new bridle comes, but I like the idea of no pulley's
on the bar or the kite. If it has good depower, I might just leave it in 5 line mode.
Are you going early again Shem ??.
Regards,
Simon

Shem,
From most of the guys I've spoke to who fly them in 5 lines agree that the rear lines are still too short by 10-20cm. They have removed
the pigtails from the front lines, and cleat in 10cm of front line. I'm sure you have already tried to tweak it.
I hope the kite will rock when the new bridles are on, but I just want to see it out the bag. If not, I will have to hold onto the 16TD
instead.
