What can U do with a kite that flys to one side. I have checked the lines and bridal

Sounds like it's f****d to me. Best to cut it up and chuck it in the bin.

There seem to be a lot of these one post wonders occurring at the moment. First post, ask a silly question and never hear from them again.

I know the seasons about to start and all, but I get the feeling they're not all here with the best of intentions.....

Move to WA

Left or Right?

O-Oh. Heavy weather topic

I had one of these - twisted leading edge bladder. You can check for twist by looking at how the bladder sits while fully inflated on the garage floor or similar flat surface. If twisted try inflating to about half pressure or less, grab leading edge and wave it up and down vigorously in a few different places along the edge then reinflate and check leading edge on floor. Repeat shaking until bladder is ok.

If not twisted then check all bridle line lengths are even as previously mentioned.

Must be a northern hemisphere Kite.....

A fairly common problem with an easy solution, light the kite on fire then launch it. The offending bits will burn up and fall off and the kite will then fly true.
I had to do this just last week.

Awesome!

I bet the kiter was happy that you so kindly helped him out .

Yes he was thanking me, at least I thought that's what he was trying to say, he was very animated.

Pull the other one ........harder ........ It may play jingle bells . And straighten out ...
