Installation
Lay out your Universal Control System in an open area. Untangle your lines like you are going to attach your kite.
Pic 1
- Lay out your 20 M LWR flyline and yellow leader. The end with the size demarcation will end up at the kite
end of the assembled system.
Pic 2
- Carefully thread the blue control line through the guides on the LWR Flyline.
Note
: It is important to always thread the flyline through guide loop the same direction. Failure to do so will
hinder the operation of the LWR System.
Hint:
Anchor the ends of both flylines to aid in assembly.
Pic 3
- Once the LWR flyline is assembled on the blue flyline, attach the yellow LWR leader. Use a loop-to-loop
connection.
Pic 4
- Slide the bar float up the leader.
Hint:
Slide the float all the way up onto the blue flyline.
Pic 5 & 6
- Using the exposed blue flyline, tie a loop through the loop at the end of the LWR leader. Use this to pull the
leader through the float.
Hint:
The knot only needs to be snug as you will untie it immediately after this step
Pic 7
- Connect the LWR leader to the control system leader.
Note
: This must be below the main flyline connection to maintain proper left/right line lengths.

Light Wind Relaunch
LWR Installation/Tuning
Tuning
When you attach the LWR flying line to the LWR kite
bridle there should be little slack in the system. You
want the flyline to sit snuggly against the main flyline.
At the same time, the LWR should not affect the normal
flying of the kite. If it is too tight, your kite will pull
(turn) to the right.
Too tight Tuning:
Pic 1
-Move the LWR leader above the knot where the
main flying line is attached.
Too loose tuning:
Pic 2
- Move the LWR leader down the adjustment leader
at the bar end
Using your LWR
The LWR is for use when the kite is in a leading edge
down position and the wind is so light that pulling a rear
leader will not re-launch the kite.
Pic 1
- Using your right hand, grab the yellow LWR leader
line. Do not wrap the leader around your hand, body or
control bar.
Pic 2
- Pull the yellow LWR leader line towards you. You
do not need to pull the line past your body. The kite
wingtip will rise off the water and the kite will begin to
move towards the edge of the window.
Pic 3
- Release tension on the LWR leader as the kite
moves to the re-launch position
Note:
The kite can rotate onto the trailing edge if you
pull too hard on the LWR leader. This may cause the kite
to launch deep in the wind window with an excessive
amount of power.
Pic 4
- As the kite nears the edge of the window, release
the LWR leader and steer the kite into the air using the
control bar.
Warning:
Be careful to avoid any slack line when releas-
ing the LWR leader line.

the blue back line connector of your kite.
Pic 2
- Thread the looped end through the plastic ring at
the end of the wing tip.
