Light Wind Relaunch

LWR Installation/Tuning
Installation
Lay out your Universal Control System in an open area. Untangle your lines like you are going to attach your kite.
Pic 1- Lay out your 20 M LWR flyline and yellow leader. The end with the size demarcation will end up at the kite
end of the assembled system.
Pic 2- Carefully thread the blue control line through the guides on the LWR Flyline.
Note: It is important to always thread the flyline through guide loop the same direction. Failure to do so will
hinder the operation of the LWR System.
Hint: Anchor the ends of both flylines to aid in assembly.
Pic 3- Once the LWR flyline is assembled on the blue flyline, attach the yellow LWR leader. Use a loop-to-loop
connection.
Pic 4- Slide the bar float up the leader.
Hint: Slide the float all the way up onto the blue flyline.
Pic 5 & 6- Using the exposed blue flyline, tie a loop through the loop at the end of the LWR leader. Use this to pull the
leader through the float.
Hint: The knot only needs to be snug as you will untie it immediately after this step
Pic 7- Connect the LWR leader to the control system leader.
Note: This must be below the main flyline connection to maintain proper left/right line lengths.

Tuning
When you attach the LWR flying line to the LWR kite
bridle there should be little slack in the system. You
want the flyline to sit snuggly against the main flyline.
At the same time, the LWR should not affect the normal
flying of the kite. If it is too tight, your kite will pull
(turn) to the right.
Too tight Tuning:
