Are those lines crossed? Something is not right!

Are those lines crossed? Something is not right!

Busted! You caught it. Here's the story and I'm sticking to it. I bought had a new set of 75' lines. The right/left pairs were paired, however somewhat twisted. I was in the process of doing a multiple untwist procedure when my wife offered to take a picture before she took off on a walk. The tide was coming in and I was concerned I would be out of flying room when she returned. So I flew the kite up, owned my hover, the picture was taken, reversed flight and finished untwisting the lines. My wife went on her walk, when she returned I had a very narrow beach. She took a couple more pictures and we folded and went back to our room.

So yes, the lines were twisted but only for a moment. But she flew just fine and I had a great time. And that's the bottom line, having fun.

Well fielded sir!

Isn't it great to be able to see the detail and wonder? I often get the kite in the air to deal with the last couple of twists. It is probably a good exercise in 'handle' manipulation.

Having fun indeed....
