Hi Folks - Ive searched the web until both bottles of red were drained and still came up dry.

Ive picked up a 2013 Bandit 6 kite - 11m (in the worst condition Ive ever seen LOL ) and the front bridle has a little (15cm) extension attached to wing tip connection ?? I'm not sure if the previous owner was playing around or maybe the bridle is off another Bandit version - so needed an extension???

I simply cant find what the lengths of the leading edge bridles should be (seems to be called floating lines in F One speak??)

Can anyone direct me to a website that gives the factory dimensions of the bridles for F One kites ( Bandit 6, 11m kite 2013 particularly) - or maybe its an industry secret ??

Hi Lambie,

I've asked an F-one rep for you. Stand by :)

ok.. so this measurement is from the 7m, but it might give you a guide as to wether the 15cm extension should be there or not; it should be 90cm from kite to the outside of the ball.

Hey thanks for your help :-)

Here is the F-one bridal line drawing - its the total line length through the first pulley and the line length from the 1st pulley to the wing tip length for an B6 11m I'm interested in Erin :-)

It seems the top lines are called 'V lines' and the line that connects to the top Pulley and runs back to the lower leading edge is called the 'Main V line"

Why is it so hard to find the line lengths for F-One kites????
