ive not flown the sonic but im guessing you mean that there is 4 knots on the rear attachment points, right ?

Id say attach it to the ones furthest away from the kite. fly the kite and if the back lines feel a bit slack then land the kite an move them 1 knot closer. keep oing this until you see which knot is best.

if it gets to the point where you pull the bar into the chicken loop and the kkite backstalls then you have went 1 knot to close to the kite.



which beach do you fly at ? im sure there will be someone who will be able to give you a help setting it up

Hi Paul,

I used to fly one ofthese... nice kite! :D
The different settings are to give you more or less bar pressure apparently but a pro who used to fly the GK's reckoned there was only one sweet set up so here it is below.

F3 & F4 on the front lines and B2 on the back lines.

I flew it like that all the time and had no complaints.
Start there and then experiment if you like later.

Cheers,
Rory
