0 Captainbob Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Great, sure could have used this yesterday. Had a new SLE that the bridle came from the factory buggered up on the right lower side. Went crazy trying to figure out how it was supposed to look, since both sides were different.The guys at Kitelife forum help me sort it out. These pictures should be pinned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dayhiker Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Great images, very concise information. My first Rev did not have the bridle completely attached & I figured it out while on the beach a few Decembers ago. Makes me realize I should go check the kite now to see if I got it right back in the day. But didn't I have the Dark Side guiding me? early flight,second ever Rev session - expecting to crash but the SLE is tough. Just noticed I had already made knotted leaders.

0 portlandflyer Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if you found one of the line attachments had tangled around either itself or around the rest of the bridle. Sometimes in our haste to try something new, we miss something very obvious to a practiced eye. Anyway hope it is just a tangled up leg, there should be little difference in how this kite performs over what you had before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 oapbillf Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2016 And I have at last found the link to Watty,s video ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 portlandflyer Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 There is a short line to remember if doing a switch in the field or on a beach: "Little through big, big through little!" . That will help you remember how to join the 2 parts together and get that hinge between the vertical leg and the horizontal leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
