Hi can someone please suggest a way to retrieve the steering line tuning knots see the bar end on the right.

I tried to tune the kite while it was flying and the steering line adjustment knots we're pulled into the bar end. Tricky to retrieve and wind coming on Tuesday ??

Many thanks

Stiff piece of piano wire or similar, pull the existing line out, push the stiff wire through and loop the two together to pull it back. Bit of electrical tape will help, removing knots beforehand will help you get it back through, as well as making a bend in piano wire before trying to thread it.

You can fold the other steering Line in half. Send/ push up into bar until it comes out the top hole of the float.

Use the hoop to pull the loose steering line back down into float and back into the yellow adjustable thing.
