I just saw an example of how a REv 2 was tuned by a dealer, remember all the complaints about Octanes being underpowered, shortened the back bridle by 4 inches. It fixed the sick kite.


Illustrated details please!

Are you simply suggesting shortening the P-line by 4 inches?

That doesn't make sense, as that's effectively what has made my 9m REV2 fly like crap that is fixed by replacing the p-lines with a new set that LENGTHENS the P-line by about 4 inches--so, either I'm missing something or don't understand exactly what you are suggesting...

Hmmm. That means Slingy sent me REV 1 P lines for my REV 2.
Can't quite read your chart. Pls let me know correct length for 11m REV 2 P lines


Yep, that's what happened -- that's actually a benefit though--because the REV1 lines are longer -- you can put a couple of knots in them to get them to the correct length initially, and then, as they shorten, remove the knots to lengthen the lines, thereby getting more mileage out of them...
