Willis,you should not need any'extension' unless the kite has been tampered with by the previous owner.....North have the setup prety 'downpat' to start with....don't play around with an 'out of the norn' setup.. you will only open a 'can of worms' and stuff up the geometry and ballance of the kite.....you should be able to achieve the desired length of 5th line length to drive and steering lines by useing the colour coded knots,there is a colour code down the grey line that enters the vario cleat teeth....be sure to match the colours on it in relation to the colour coded knots on the outside lines at the bar....I know it seems complicated but if you take the time to set up in your yard....I use nails on the top rail of the back fence, about the same distance apart as if they were connected to the kite pigtails, all the same length,you can then hook yourself in and lean back and study and observe the way everything is set up,vario adjusment to....best to star with full depower set to start with........Poor Relative is good with North setups, .....he might see your post and add some better explanation,Roo
