Thanks Steveand Jimmyz,
-----------------------------------
the T2, just make sure before each and every launch that the sliding stopper is pushed to the top of the trim system/double grey centre lines.

what is this sliding stopper for? also I do not understand the following "top of the trim system"!
Cheers
Ok, like User says, make sure you are fully aware of what every part of the bar and lines does, before you fly the kite.
The trim system, is all of the chicken loop, but especially the cleat, the bar, and the two grey amsteel lines, the rings at the top of the grey lines and the sliding stopper.
So the top of that "trim system" is where the front lines connect to the rings that the grey amsteel line passes through before it runs back down to the trim cleat mounted on the chicken loop. The sliding stopper needs to be there at the top each and every time you launch!!!
The sliding stopper locks the trim of the kite, but it also prevents the 90+%l "drop the bar depower". The trim of the kite can be locked once you are more experienced, you can experiment with it in lighter winds once you are riding well offshore.
It is priamrily used in lighter winds to prevent unwanted depowering or trimming of the kite, and to do tricks like the infamous "deadman" and "heart attack", etc.
