Your kite is not performing properly. First check if you have assembled it correctly. Check that the bridle lines are not wrapped around any spars, and then check the bridle setting. |

Kite turns immediately into the ground on lift off. First check that the right line goes to the right side of the kite and vice versa, secondly check the flying lines are the same lengths. If one line is longer than the other the kite will always tend to turn to that side, thirdly check that your bridle settings are the same. |

The kite is very fast or very slow. The length of your flying lines can have quite an effect on the kite's performance. Short lines will result in the kite being very fast and responsive while very long lines will make the kite slow and sluggish. |

Twisted/tangled lines, caused by unwinding lines off the reel/handle in the opposite direction to which they where wound on. To get the twists out, unwind you lines completely and then starting at one end walk along the length of the line running it through your hands and easing the twist along until it unwinds completely at the other end. One way to avoid this happening again is to make sure when you first start unwinding the lines they are coming off the reel un-twisted and to keep it in your hand in the same position to wind on and wind off the line. |

Strong Winds. In very strong winds you might find it easier or more comfortable to sit down and fly. |
