This kite used to fly effortlessly in any wind conditions but it sat in my barn for almost 15 years and the bridle lines deteriorated. I foolishly tried to replicate the bridle without first getting measurements of the old set-up and now I can't get the kite to fly.
The main line connects to the nose hoop and two lines run from the ersatz landing gear to the main. I've tried all manner of configurations but can't seem to achieve the proper attitude or angle of attack. Is there a bridle formula or rule of thumb for bipe kites?
Also, adjusting the bridle would be a lot easier if there were a way to tie the side lines to the main with a knot that's adjustable but won't slip.
I'd love to get this glorious old kite in the air again. Any advice?
Thanks for any ideas you may have.
