  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
  • Another in the ongoing series of Kitelife Magazine tutorials for using Revolution quad line kites, this one detailing how to equalize your lines, ensuring equal length between right and left.
    All types of line stretch or "settle in" over time and will eventually end up uneven by varying amounts which effects the accuracy of your inputs accordingly... You'll be amazed at how the kite responds more accurately, and how easy it actually is to balance out your line lengths.
    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!

    Great job. The directional mic is sounding great! This explained equalization very well, and will be a great tool for those that are unfamiliar with it.

    About what you're saying at 1'40" : I learned from André Cassagne when I was very young to make a simple knot at 1cm from the end of the sleeving to prevent this to happen when you untie the two knots before equalizing. That's what I've been doing ever since.

    Could you please share a link or information on where you got your ground stake? I would prefer to have something nicer than a tent stake and can't seem to find what you have. Great videos you have made! Thanks

      Sadly, it's no longer made - beat bet so far is to check with various kite shops to see what they have available.

    Hello
    can I have information? I received a quad line kite as a gift and I have to correct the length of the lines.
    the 4 lines must have all the same length? or must they have different measures? if yes, which ones?
    thank you so much

      R. e S. Papacoc - all 4 lines equal (and stretched to tighten the weave), then add 10”-12” pigtails to the top of your handles so you can adjust the tuning, full info on pigtails and tuning here:

      This tutorial is SUPER old, watch for new content from Kite Forge over the next couple of months - new company, new kites, evolved by the same instructor.
