@69tauan Lines can range from 65 feet to 100 feet, or 20 to 30 meters. Power lines are of equal length, and brake lines will be of equal length. Depending on the kite, the power lines may be a different length than the brake lines.
hi i have a 3.45mtr and wen flying it ther is no power ther at all its like lying a paper bag whats the problam/how can sort it to give more pawer ps its a 2line
Hey! Thnx for making this video, recently bought myself a second hand 2,5 meter fourline kite. We`ve spend over an hour getting the thing to fly but when we did...
I had a new hobby!!!
Can you also make a decent jump with these kind of kite`s?
@pookybroertje Hi, welcome to power kiting! Yes, you can jump with a power kite, but please do not attempt any jumps with a 2.5m. Reason being the kite will take you up in the air fast, but drop you down hard.
Finding the right kite for your body weight is something you'll need to figure out. For me, I am 170lbs, and a 5m+ kite is the only way I'd attempt any jumps. I like Flexifoil and Peter Lynn Kites. Definitely worth it if you imagine yourself jumping/boarding/skiing for years to come.
can u tell me how my brake lines sum how wrap round the main lines? it would mean my wrist spinning more than 360 degree and i know that isn't happening
me thinks that the red handle goes on the right.. rrr (red right ready) :S btw when you say ure kite is 5m are you talking about its area in total or its wingspan... constantly trying to figure that out
@taandmj IMHO, if you want to progress into power kiting, a 4 line trainer kite 3-4m or smaller would be good to start out with. That way, you can practice flying while learning to maneuver, and yet still fly safe. Also, the size of the kite you choose really depends on your weight and wind conditions in your area.
Hey blunts, your kite should still be able to fly even with an extra long brake line, but the thing is you won't be able to brake to land it.
There's no specific power/brake lines lengths for kites. You'll need to adjust these until you like the setting.
Now if you want to adjust this, I would add an extension to your power lines using some paracord rope or some rope that is as strong as your power lines. Let me know how it goes.
i got a 3 m power kite 4 string but the brake lines are too long cause i try to launch and the brake lines are still on the ground how long are they supposed to be ?
please help i just got a 3m power kite the brake lines and power lines are conected together please help me set it up i have msn and can show pics never flown
Iv finally done it got it up in the air for bout a min and the power line snaped. so im geting thicker lines because im gunna try do stunts and stuff with it. its only a 3m kite but its well powerfull. cheers
so how windy does it had to be? because i took mine out 2day set it up like iv seen on the net and before i go and pick the handles up the kite is blowing all over the place driving me crazy!!!!
Hi, what size and brand kite were you flying? For a first flight, 10mph or less would be plenty of wind, and anything more is risky business. Could be because the power/brake lines aren't tweaked to the kite. If the brake lines are too long, (or if the power lines are too short visa versa) then the kite will power up all the time. Also, could be incorrect placement of handles to stake. Cheers!
also wanted to know if each line has a different size
queria saber tambem, se cada linha tem um tamanho diferente

@SpacesAndLines This is a Albatross/Moringbirds 5M Kite (purchase new handles if decide to buy one as the stock ones are prone to snapping)
