TUNE UP THE ACTIVE 5 

          Tension on the 5

th

 line: 

          The 5

th

 line is preset “loose” to not hinder the flying of the kite. It tightens while you depower 

and increases the depower (see drawing). The 5

th

 line loosens up when you power the kite. If it 

does not loosen up it means that you have pulled on it too much or it is too short.

          Ring stopper position

: 

          If the ring is placed too high (too far from the bar): the kite will fly inverted 

(leading edge facing down) without landing.  

          If the ring is placed too low (too close to the bar): the kite will not loose 

enough power and will keep on pulling you.

          If the 5

th

 line is too short, the kite will depower and you will loose perform-

ance in the lower wind range of the kite. 

          If the 5

th

 line is too long it will be harder to depower by pulling on it, and 

the risk of having your lines getting tangle will increase in riding or in case of a 

release. 

          You can adjust the length of the 5

th

 line at the lower part of the Y. There 

are 3 adjustment knots +/- 10 centimeters. Factory set up is the center knot.
