Hi
I have a 1st dos bandit 7.5mtrs but at some stage bridle has been stuffed up.
received lengths for f-one and there are only 2 front LE points for attachment.
Lengths given are
bottom front line 3.1mtrs.
Leader line 1.1mtrs.
anyone know what the configuration for this bridle is with pulleys.
stuffed if I know front there description.
thanks

So is it a bandit one or is it a dos eg bandit 2.
A bandit 1 which seems to be the only model which came in a 7.5mtr
The bandit one was just a strait v bridle with a single pully running on it, it is dam long and very prone to getting tangled on the wing tips.
More than likely though the Centre line on the bar is wrong, from memory there were a few different sizes. Could even be the wrong bar.
What is the issue are the lines to long to short, how is the kite behaving???

Kite is folding on wing tips in tight turns.
pics I've found show one v line and length given buy f-one was 3.1.
I guess leader line they mentioned pulleys of that v and is 1.1mtrs long.
like you say,sounds crazy long.
i can always try that and with someone holding me try it out on beach,which isn't problem.
Any ideas on the leader?
thanks for help

Sounds like you need to pump it up harder. Do you have a gauge?
yes.
going to try all of the above.
I know early bandits had to be super hard(small dis LE)
thanks heaps
Even pumped hard I could get the b1 to distort a bit. Good luck with it, just don't expect great performance from a 8 year old kite.
