Can s'one give me a hint, how to find what had suddenly happened with my kite?
KITE: Classic TakoonScoop 14,5m, high aspect with excellent upwind and depower ability.
PROBLEM: Sits low in the wind window, very sluggish in turns and I cannot make it upwind any more, whatever I try.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: I dropped it and struggled for a long time to relaunch it. The kite twisted several times.
IT DOES NOT SHOW any obvious bulges, tears or irregularities on the fabric. The lines have been precisely measured and adjusted at least 3x since the problem started.
WHAT CAN CAUSE IT?
Thanks guys P.

make sure that the LE bladder is in straight... that's an older kite, isn't it, with lighter (stretched) cloth... your LE could be distorted as a result of the twisting.
