just got mine and I think I have the SAFE system figured out. You'll need the pulley to get more depower to activate the SAFE system. I pumped up the 8 and it looks solid. Looks like rain is comming so I deflated it. Funny thing, no user manuals, just instructions on the safe and jumpstart. Will give more info later. Need Sleep

Does this illustration help?

Or is that what you already have?

Dewey, did your safe system static bridle lines and the things you attach those to on the leading edge come in the package with the jumpstart instructions? That is where mine were and the safe system bridle (red) came by itslef with the safe system instructions. Let me know if this is how yours were. It doesn't make sense since you don't need the staic bridle lines for the jumpstart system.

I also ordered a quiver of Windwings (Rage II). I'm reading in your posts that it appears I'll be lucky enough to benefit from your assembly experience.
I'm curious, how many weeks did yours take to arrive? I shouldn't be in a hurry as there's no wind and work is going full out but I still want to play with them.

Sorry for the inconveniences, guys. Downloading the manual was the fastest way to make it available. Factory Direct is right -- the kites come from Hong Kong, so we have to set up a printing arrangement over there to ship the manuals with the kites, which we ARE doing, kites will come with printed glossy manuals very soon if not already. This stuff takes time to set up and is doubly hard in foreign countries, etc. You can imagine I'm sure.dewey wrote:Yeah I have it (black and white photo copy) I just think it's kind of funny that you have to download the manual. Clearing out the living room now to attach the bridles. By the way, when they say factory direct they mean it. Kites were shipped on the 22nd from Hong Kong!!!
As for the SAFE bridle problems, I'll respond to other posts below.

Yes, something is definately wrong. It's either installed incorrectly or somehow you got the wrong bridle (I'm guessing here). Unfortunately all our tech guys are in Baja right now on a photoshoot/product test (yeah right) and won't be back until next week. Please call Windwing in Hood River next week and get John Bellacera or Boarding Bob on the phone and work this out. The last thing we want is for you to have a bad experience because something is not right. Please take advantage of this resource, these guys are nice and very helpful.dewey wrote:Yep that's how i got mine. Did you install the SAFE system yet?? I tried mine and it seems about 3 inches too long. When I pull the rear line the ball will not hit the front ring. I must be doing something wrong.
You can email them directly by going to the "about us" section of windwing.com and clicking on their direct email links, or call the loft here at 541-386-3905.
I am confident that we can get this working right, we are getting rave reviews from kiters all over the globe since we launched the SAFE system.
Hope this helps,
