Default Hooking up a Switchblade kite

I have a question about hooking up a Cabrinha Switchblade. What notch should I put the lines on? Right now I hook it up to the middle notch.
Thanks for any replys!

I believe that is the setting for mid range winds for a given sized SB. If you are going out underpowered you want to attach to the knot closer to the kite on the back line attachment. I added another knot in that line and even attach to the point where the bridle line splits into two for really light winds. I was very uneasy about attaching to the outer most knot in higher wind conditions. This promoted inversion on my Crossbow so I never did it on the 06 SB. This knot works well on the Contra I have learned over the last few days though.
