Kite flying

it must be remembered that a
"classic" line size of around 25m offers a good compromise between kite
responsiveness.
By opting for shorter
lines, we reduce the window of use but we gain in maneuverability and
control.
Conversely, with longer
lines, the
kite will tend to respond less well to the orders of the pilot but we
will benefit from a larger window while fetching the wind higher (and
therefore certainly stronger) and stable).
The resistance of a set
of lines
corresponds to the resistance to the power of traction generated by the
kite that they are able to cash without breaking.
Most small kites
generate almost no traction, 50 or 75kg resistance lines are often
enough to evolve under normal conditions.
Normally, this kind of
information
is specified on the card. If this is not the case, be aware that true
speed kites may require lines of resistance up to 140kg.
Whether connecting the
lines to the kite's bridle or handles, only one knot is needed, the
"lark's head".
