I'm kinda wondering if maybe if I had it rigged on the wrong knots. Does anyone have any feeback on which knots make the kite do what? I set the front and back lines even on the second knots and I had the kite trimmed in about half way. :wink:
I'm still trying to figure out the point behind having the three knot/line attachment options on the Octane (& REV's). My guess it's for line stretch. Does anyone know what's the optimal spot (or knot) to attach the lines to on these kites? Does attaching them at different points for given condititons makes the kite fly better? What's the secret? :confusion-scratchheadblue:
