Kite flying strangly..
 
I changed bars yesterday on my 14m Royal to a Flexi bar and lines and something is not right. I made no change to the kite side attahcments just changed the bar. When we launched the kite, it turned way to fast and then even flew backward. When I depowered, it flew a little better but when I repowered, it flew backwards and then dropped out of the window.

I'm guessing that the something is wrong with the line lengths....any suggestions would be thankful.

Ummmm....check your line lengths?:p
Hahahha just kiddin' (not really) sounds like the fronts are WAY too long.
I have a brand new Royal bar here with trim strap and leaders (no lines or CL) that has Big G written all over it. Its yours for free if ya want it to build up another bar.

it's oversheeting. shorten your inside lines, or lengthen your outside lines. hook it up to a tree. when you are fully powered all lines should be tight

Is the Flexi bar losing air?????? Sorry had to go there.

Yeah, no kidding SteveO. Notice I said bar ONLY not Flexi kite. One things for sure, they make great bars.

I still have an ION on its second set of valves as a back up. Its kinda like driving around town with a spare tire thats flat.
