Adjusting the Variable Power Control system
The VPC system gives you better control and depower range when riding.
The VPC system has three settings to set the kite’s flying behaviour to your personal liking.
Move the larkshead at the end of the V-line across the lower pigtail line and place it behind the
knots.
Further away from the kite
Placing the larkshead further away from the
kite will give the kite:
• More direct depower, faster power buildup
when sheeting in or out.
• More power
• More bar pressure
Closer towards the kite
Placing the larkshead closer towards the kite
will give the kite:
• Less direct depower, smoother power
buildup when sheeting in or out.
• More depower
• Less bar pressure
• Less stalling
Attaching the flying lines to the
Variable Power Control system
To attach the flying lines to the VPC system,
use a larkshead knot as described in the user
manual.
Attach the top lines to the knot on the end of the
VPC top line.
Attach the rear lines to the knot on the end of the
VPC rear line.
