Language: English Description: After you have learnt to fly you first swept wing (aka Delta) stunt kite you'll probably find yourself wanting to get a kite that "flies better". Stop, consider, your present kite can almost certainly be tweaked to fly better without a lot of added expense.

Tuning your kite involves setting up the bridle correctly and/or possibly altering the bridle configuration. Tuning may also be extended to changing certain frame components to cure problems inherent in common components (eg. "soft" vinyls, knotty wingtips and sharp stand offs).

This booklet consists of a series of paragraphs outlining points of alteration & why you should consider making the described alterations followed by a schedule of things to do or change.
