    Try this linkhttp://www.wipikakiteboarding.com/index.php?id=107&directSell=&osCsid=49651785ed1bbd27c29d78a1a41516dd&currency=EUR&language=en&region=eu&tx_jppageteaser_pi1[backId]=64 It will take you to the support pages of the wipika web site. You will need 2002 or 2003 support pdf ( if its a free air or Air Blast) which will tell you how to convert from 2 to 4 lines. You basically take off the 2 line bridle, roll up the wing tips a bit to create a rigid spar then attach short leader lines to the corners so that you can add your 4 lines. Brake lines to the leading edge main lines to the trailing edge!!

    Is the wipika size the projected area or actual sq/M. If its a 16m wip then its going to be around 20m flat area. I would go for the older wipika, they are really stable and forgiving with lots of power even in very light winds

    Firebee 3m

    The rings on my 4m are about 25cm long, my bee came with one long line attached to the brake bridle which had only one knot at the very end. The kite was crap and didn't handle at all. I spend several flying sessions playing with the brake line lengths by shortening this long line until the kite behaved. I will measure the distance from where the bridle comes together to the start of the flying line to give you a rough guide if that will help, but it will probably come down to a little time spent playing with settings for your bee to fly right. It only takes a 1cm difference in brake line length to make a difference Good Luck

    Try this site for info on Firebee Power Rings and other tips on Bee flying. http://www.stratus-design.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/firebee/ Rings on my 8.5 bee and time tweaking the brake lines has made it into a really powerful and well behaved kite. It did take lots of time and swearing though - but well worth it.
