Attaching lines
Always lay out the flyinglines from the foil
opposite to the wind.
Use lark's head knots to secure the lines to
the foil bridle and the handles (see draw-
ing), which form loops on the ends of each-
flying-line. Pull the lark's head knots tight on
the bridle or handle line and stop the knots
at the connection points.
When hooking up the lines, ensure that
the flyinglines are correctly secured to the
bridle and the handles and make absolutely
certain that the left and right side and the
power lines (thicker) and brake lines (thin-
ner) have not been switched.

Securing the foil
A knot leader allows for the foil to be adju-
sted at different connection points on the
braking bridle. The bridle is adjusted so that
the third knot provided for good control via
the brake if the flyinglines are the same
length (see figure on page 4).
Once the foil is set up and the lines are con-
nected, secure it to the ground stake. To do
this, wind the brake line around the ground
stake direct on the handles so that the foil
remains flat on the ground while braked.
Alternatively, you can use the extra loops
on the lower end of some 4-line handles.
