I just can't remember ?
Seriously.
After years of rigging up bridled kites, the knowledge has left me.
It's gone.
I know this for sure cause I tried to do it the other day.....
and I got it wrong.

You see,
A newbie at the flatwater spot asked me to help him out.
He had just bought himself a new secondhand C-kite.
After walking the 25 metres stringing-out the lines, I finally reached the kite.
I was now at the business end of the job.
I only had to connect the toggles to the pigtails.

I looked at those weird looking square wingtips ??
I looked at the 4 pigtails ????
I was momentarily confused.
My mind had gone blank.
Nope...I just couldn't remember what-went-where.

*Footnote.
'Back' lines = side lines.
'Front' lines = centre lines.
