4m Viper Question

[richard collins]

bit foxed on this one and thought I'd pick your brains first

 

My Viper feels unresponsive and keeps cartwheeling left over right .

No matter what I do, I can't seem to stop this happening

 

have measured lines and they are all the same length , no problems with bridle/tangles etc and the handle line lengths are ok.

It doesn't do it all the time but once it starts there is no stopping it .

I flew my mates blade afterwards with no problems so I think it isn't me

 

I can only think that the bridle or kite fabric has stretched so before I unpick the bridle has anyone come across this before

Richard,

 

I agree with Adrenal1n, it sounds like too much breaking try setting the brake lines to the slackest setting and see if you have more control (try this in lighter winds or with some assitance initailly)

 

Also you say you have measured the lines and they are equal, but what about yer arms

thanks guys

 

I'll have a play with slacker brake lines.

 

re the arms - I'll get the girlfriend to get the tape measure out (I'll get some stick for that)
