as we talked at rush on saturday. i have measured my lines. my front lines on my ozone are four inchs longer than back and two longer than the fifth. i find that i am flying with my bar at or near the bottom stopper. i am confused on adding pigtails to my back lines. when i simulate this on land, to a stationary object, this seems to worsen situation. is this because of the way the kite is set up? am i thinking about it right. my lines look frayed on my 13 . is it time for new lines?
thanks for all the advice

Todd,
You got it backwards, add the pig tails to your front 3 lines if you feel to soft on the steering/bar.

Frayed lines can never be a good thing, and it sounds like maybe your old lines have been stretched out of tune anyways.

I have some Ozone colored lines that I'd be glad to sell to you. I used one set on snow a couple of times on my old Slingshot Turbo Diesel kite that didn't come with colored lines.
Or a brand news set that I was going to put on my old 9M Slingshot, but never did. $40/$50 (four lines,not 5th)
