Dual Line Tutorial - Assembly and Disassembly (stunt kite)

Another in an ongoing series of Kitelife Magazine tutorials for using dual line sport / stunt kites, this one detailing an efficient and reliable assembly and disassembly method.
While putting your kite together and taking it apart may not be relevant to your flying, it DOES effect not only the longevity of the kite and its materials, but a proven process can greatly streamline and simplify your "before and after" on the field.
You can look forward to a growing collection of similar tutorials covering equipment, flight techniques and other "pro secrets" gathered from over 20 years in the kiting community... A number of them will be available here on TH-cam, while the majority of these tutorials will be located in the Kitelife Subscribers section, be sure to subscribe today if you like what we're doing here!

John, your detail in instruction is awesome. I really enjoy watching your tutorials over and over.

[@Kitelife]

This is DEFINITELY on the to do list, along with literally over 100 other tutorials... Not sure when we'll make headway, we're working on more regular access to good filming locations - as soon as we can. :)

[@WizDum1971]

Well Done! Definately the most informative, easy to understand Assemble and Disassembly videos I have seen. GOOD JOB

Great little tutorial.

[@littlegreycat]

Thank you. I may finally figure out how to out my older single whisker back together. Then i will have to figure out what the bridle is supposed to properly look like. Well the front spreader is missing. It looks like it's not too tight so i am wondering if i thought it was to a different kite. Hopefully i can find it. If not i need to figure out what size it should be.

Dude.................. Excellent!!

[@indyjtk60]

[@neo1979]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Urikai1]

Excelent. Thank you !

[@suntzuwarsword1964]

very cool..thank you

[@Bobsk871]

Good tutorial as usual....Just got a new Prism 4D and was surprised that the basic construction is similar to the kite in the demo.

[@Kitelife]

Bobsk871 Most dual line kites are of similar basic design, with most of the differences being in stand off arrangement, connector styles and wing tip tensioning... Glad we could help! ;)

[@lazar40004]

very informative, waiting for the next video,please help the beginners like me, please put a tutorial on basic flits...

[@siniestrorave]

Thanks a lot

[@Kitelife]

@indyjtk60 - Thanks Indy, look for more outdoor dual line tutorials as the weather improves for filming here in the Northwest... Right now, I'm working on a series of Indoor Rev tutorials, coming very soon. ;)

[@PUPPYBONZ]

I bought one at a yard sale.Put it together. Where do the strings attatch.? Are there two control lines ?

[@Kitelife]

This kite is a "Kymera", manufactured by Into The Wind, your local retailer can order it. :)

[@juanalbertomorenoramirez4140]

great

[@Kitelife]

@lazar40004 : Hi, yes - we'll be releasing a full selection of fundamental (beginner) tutorials as soon as we can, as well as some advanced techniques... Stay tuned, we'll post them to this channel!

[@stu71a1]

Do they sell these kites in the UK if not will they ship

[@brandonedwards1256]

What's a good way to wrap the line without it twisting? It takes me a long time to get the kite in the air because I am trying to untwist the lines.

[@JohnBarresi]

Same principle as outlined in this video, without attaching the pairs together... Just put the loops on the winder and go, as shown here: th-cam.com/video/Cuw3vBD50hs/w-d-xo.html

[@timbra87]

Nice kite and you have very good explain all information of a kite. But now my question. What is the name of the kite that you show in this video? He interested me....:-)

[@prafulmp]

how do stop a dual line twisting whilst flying i am new to delta kites as you can guess.

[@Kitelife]

+praful patel : you don't stop it from twisting, good kite line can twist anywhere from 6-12 times with no problems... So, spin a few one way then spin a few the other way to undo. ;)

[@Kitelife]

Hi... Regular contact with salt water and sand can break down your sail, but it's not like acid or anything... Just give your kite a good rinse, or wipe it down with a SOFT cloth and MILD hand soap if it's really dirty... MOST IMPORTANT, let your kite air-dry thoroughly before packing it away - wet storage is a big no no.
For reassembling your bridle, I'd suggest you check out the mfg's forum (look on prismDOTcom) for help, or perhaps post in gwtwforumDOTcom for user-to-user support.

[@Kitelife]

They should sell them in the UK, I'd try a Google search for something like "Barresi Kymera UK"... If not, I do know they're available in Spain and France.

[@bbcake001]

Hey, Is it possible to convert the dual line to a single line and use it as a high flying kite? Also, is the 20Lb. line is good enough?

[@outandabout100]

I don't think it will work on single line. However I've once tried 4 lines and it worked fine but it's too much work with 4 lines.

[@michaelhametner9780]

There are dedicated single line kites. Theres no real point in trying to make a single line kite out of a dual line kite ;-)

[@iLoVeChocOlatE216]

Make a tutorial step to step how to fly a delta 2 line kite

[@jeremyshanemcgowan5949]

No one shows how to attach the strings
