How different bridle setups modulate the flight characteristics of a single line zero wind kite. In general: adjust the bridle "light" at lively flights in no wind, or "heavy" at high static flights in some wind.

The high-start

Only a few of us keep calm before lift-off. But: the high start is a cool and solid method to bring the kite to a good height in no wind. Whether at the sea, in the mountains or indoors.

Fine-tuning the symmetry

A zero-wind single line kite, while performing a straight flight upwards, relies in particular on its perfect symmetry. That's why the setup of your symmetrical kite is important, for floating with a short line as well as for high flights.

Adjustments on small kites

Small single line zero-wind kites can be adjusted for flying indoor or outdoor in larger space, and for high flights in some wind also. Setups for diverse flight characteristics of your small kites: bridle, leading edge connectors, z-line and sail.
