one of the main reasons ive stuck with waroo's is their out-of-the-bag simplicity.. really.. you just need to ensure the lines on your bar are setup w/ exact same lengths when tuned to full power (bar all the way in, depower strap set to full power).. and you should be set..
i typically use the 3rd knot up on the outsidle lines (middle selection) and set the back bridles to A-B .. again.. middle selection..
for me this works perfect.
also.. i vary it only by tuning my bar so that my lines are even when the bar is pushed out about 6 to 8 inches.. this gives me a bit of oversheeting options to really crank out as much power as possible when the winds lighten up..
launching/landing.. simple as any kite can be.. really nothing to add.. very easy to use the CL-loop self launch and land method.. also if you use a 2008 bar w/ a front line ring you can self land with your eyes closed (please dont really do this)..
i assume the same stuff applies to most all new SLE kites out there .
