The DTS allows for the kite to be
adjusted to different conditions,
preferences and application
areas.
To convert, you simply secure
the larks head under knot A and
secure the larks head under knot
B or vice versa.
Thus A is the base position
(Figure 1) with the highest
adjustment angle of the mat.
This position is preferable for kite
land boards. The kite has very
stabile flight, with somewhat
more base pressure and gene-
rates more lift into the zenith.
Knot A should thus be set such
that the collection point of the
lines – as shown in Drawing 1 by
the dashed line – is to be appro-
ximately in line. A fine trim is
achieved by loosening knots A
and B in the knot adapter and
shifting minimally. Depending
on the size of the kite, a few mil-
limeters can be discernable in the
flight behavior and such changes
should be carefully considered.
In position B (Figure 2) the kite
mat is flatter. This makes the
kite fly faster and travel closer
to the edge of the wind window.
This is just right for a cross-course
in a buggy. However, this posi-
tion requires a high level of fine
feeling to use the brake lines,
particularly in inconsistent winds.
