Took my x3 out for the second time today and are still having probs with over sheeting. First made sure all lines were of the same length and of i went to find the kite over sheets a lot, more playing around with line length and seems to work best with the out side lines 4 inchs longer then the inside is this ok? Im of the impresson that im doing some thing very wrong. Please need help on this as no one seams to have this prob but me.

Thanks

Xtrail the X 3s and even the X2s fly alot more off the front lines than the back lines so it is OK if your back lines are longer than the front. what i do is hook into the chicken loop (with the kite at 12) and the harness line then set the kite to max power using the center strap (just before the wing tips start to point inwards) but i also ride 80% of the time in both the chicken loop and the harness.
most X3s will fly best on the recomended settings. the only one that i dont fly on the standard settings is my 14 because i find that it likes alittle more back line tension. As it comes out of the bag put your front lines on the bar and then the back lines on the end knot on the leader line on the bar and at the kite end there should be a little red tag on one knot on the pigtails.

let us know how you go.

Thanks for that Damo had another go at Currumbin today a lot winder this time seems to be flying better will just make small adjustments till I get it spot on. Some amount off jally fishing...... is this to do with line length?


Thanks

P.S.

Next prob, tryed a Jamie pro North 11 130 and a Gaastra 136 Sky pro today both great boards, hard case what to get.

Ray q if you want better bottom end from your x3s try flying them on the very front tags and a little less back line tension this will make the kite much faster in the air and less dragy.
X3s rock! luffing is now a thing of the past in kite surfing. i have been flying x3s for ages now and have only had 1 luff and fall out of the sky but even that was me stuffing up a handdle pass and leaving the kite miles out of the window.

Xtrali jelly fishing is pro not enough air in the leading edge.

I'm just curious.
When you are talking about all lines being the same length for x2's/x3's, do you mean they all lines should be the same length with the chicken loop hard up against the bar?? ( ie, how are measuring your line lengths?? )
I changed my lines lengths indirectly around a bit after getting a naish SSS and now want to get them back to the " factory " settings!! ( which I thought were pretty spot on!! )
