I cut my lines down for my rev. i tried it today and now when you are unhooked it sort of just drifts backwards into the water. how can i eleviate this problem from happenning. maybe changing the knots on the front lines, (but which way).

cheerio.

shorten the front lines. sounds like you have too much rear line tension and its stalling the kite in light winds. by the way i just tryed to give you red thumbs but its not working, maybe you are immune to red thumbs now

1m might be excessive.

Use the trim strap to see if you can get it flying properly, and if not cut off the length of the trip strap off the front lines and then try again...
