TIP #4
*Checking Line Length in Flight*

There are 2 PREREQUISITES:

1. You must be able to fly a low ground pass and turn the kite straight up in the center of the wind window.

2. You must be able to fly a straight vertical line in the center of the wind window even if your lines are not equal length.

Fly a low ground pass and turn the kite to go straight up in the center of the wind window. Keep your hands close together while causing the kite to fly perfectly straight up in the center. When the kite is flying exactly straight up and before it gets more than 3/4 of the way up PRESS YOUR HANDS TOGETHER. Keep your hands together while the kite hovers at the top and check to see the relative position of your hands. Do this several times and then land the kite and make the appropriate adjustment to the longer line.
