Just a little info for Noobs and whoever has trouble with knots - whenever you set up your kite/bar, check over every single knot every time...

Remember there the only thing keeping your kite in the air and if you do a replacement or mod on a line - make sure it is SECURE and undo-able if necessary

It has a really good animation clip for each one too - theres also free phone knot apps found on Market place...

Alternatively, If you can't tie knots, tie lots!

Hey STW, that is a good site, nice and clear.

My one pet peev is that there is an alternative version to the truckies hitch that they show that is better (does not rely on the free end of the rope being threaded through the loop).

Thanks for sharing
