Hello, hopefully someone might be able to help me with this.

A have a 2013 12m Griffinkites Argo. I'd like to make the upgraded pullyless bridle that is no longer available for purchase from Griffin. I found elsewhere online an image of the dimensions, but it only includes the beginner bridle, not the advanced. So I need the lengths of the two lines that go to the inner and 2nd inner attachment points on the leading edge. Does anyone have those?

I have a 9m AX that I've only recently purchased and I've extrapolated something close to the correct measurements, but I'm a bit worried about the kite doing something crazy if they aren't correct. Dimensions I currently have are 1247mm and 749mm. Attached is the image I have with the line lengths I need in red.

The reason I want to upgrade is because I've been having some issues with the 12m Argo on the last two times I used the kite. In quite powered conditions the leading edge of the kite has folded down at the center, and the kite leading edge ends up looking like an M shape. The only way to correct it was to flag it. I've been using the kite for years with no problems, with this problem occurring the last two times I've used it. The kite is in excellent condition considering its age.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Any ideas why this would it happen?

Do you think the bridle upgrade will correct it?

Thanks in advance.
Jeff
