I think the reason is because your a kook....
Surely the qualified instructor you had lessons with would have given advice on the who, how, and when of kite purchase? ??
Why not ask him or her about kite set up? ?

Will trade you a ham and cheese sanga and a can of coke for it

Under sheeted? Try shortening the rear lines.

hi
i've just purchased a type 9 RRD after reading the exceptional reviews on it but i've tried to fly it twice and it flies like crap. it continually falls out of the sky in mid flight, has very little downwards pull, but extremely large amount of upwards pull. wondering if anyone has any reasons why this is happening?

the type 9 is about 4-5 years old . Hope you didn't pay too much . What bar are you using with it . Have you checked your line lengths on the bar etc etc . .

hi
the bloke told me how he had lenghend the lines for some reason to increase its performance that could be it than maybe ?

Pigtail lengths were dodgey on a few of these kites.

I would suggest putting some longer pigtails on the rear with knots at even intervals. Start from the longest to shortest (On a light day).

If it is falling backwards = Too short
Falling forwards = Too long.

cheers mate will try
