SKYTIGER INSTRUCTIONS
Setting Up Your SKYTIGER
SETTING UP YOUR SKYTIGER:
The Flexifoil Skytiger is a four-line traction kite. Four lines will give you much more control over the
kites performance than two lines, and therefore, they are more popular for traction activities.
CONNECTING THE FLYING LINES TO THE KITE:
It is important to understand that even pre-stretched lines will stretch further during initial use,
especially the main lines. As this will alter the performance of your kite, it is important that you
check your line lengths frequently and adjust if necessary.(see LINE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT on
page 19)
You will need a suitable set of four pre-
stretched flying lines of the same length. Use
the line table on page 6 as a guide to select
the correct lines.
First, read the safety label attached to
the kite, then tear off and dispose of
responsibly.
Spread the kite sail out on
the ground on its back with
the bridle facing up and the
trailing edge facing into the
wind. Place sand (or other
suitable objects) onto the
trailing edge to prevent it
being blown away. Do not
use sharp objects as these
can damage the kite sail.
Secure all four line loops
with a ground stake near
the trailing edge of the kite.
Unwind all of your lines
while walking into the wind
and away from your kite.
Then separate them on the
ground.
Ensure your main and brake
bridles are free of tangles.
