Stacking multiple kites
You can help your kite fly its best by moving the tow
points on the bridle closer to or farther from the nose
for different wind speeds. This fips the kite slightly,
helping it To hold the best angle fo the wind for the
conditions. To move the tow points, loosen the knots on
each side slightly, slide each of them no more than
1/4" at a time, then retighten. The two knots on either
side of the tow points indicate the adjustment range of
the bridle.
Move the towpoints DOWN (away from the nose) for
stronger winds, fighter turns, and stronger pull.
Move the tow points UP for light winds, more forgiving
turns, and lighter pull.
It's easy to link Two or more Adrendlines together and
fly them in a stack. All you need is 5 precisely
measured link lines to connect each pair of kites.
These can be purchased from your retailer or direct
from the Adrenaline Spare Parts area of our website at
www.prismkites.com.
A stack of Adrenalines with colorful tails makes a
spectacular show. In stronger winds, the additional pull
will give you quite a workout too! The five available
color combinations are designed to make a beautiful
rainbow pattern when stacked.

Assembly
Unroll your kite and lay it out flat as shown. Rotate
the lower cross-spreader counter-clockwise to a
horizontal position.
First LQunch
For your first flight, find a wide open area or beach
with no obstructions upwind or downwind. Trees,
buildings, or anything that disturos the wind makes
learning much more difficult.
Attach one flying line fo each green pigtail using
a Lark's Head knot as shown.
Flying Tips
Keep your hands below your chest and in front of you
rather than waving them over your head like many
egineers. It will be much easier fo control the kite.
Pick a wide open field or beach to fly where there
are no buildings or trees fo cause turbulence in the
wind. The bigger your field, the easier it will be to fly.
Fly with your lines at their longest length to give
yourself more time to react while you learn. Later
you may want to use shorter lines for light winds
Insert the upper and lower spreaders all the way into
the elbow-shaped leading edge fittings. Be sure the
pridle lines aren't tangled on the spreaders.
Lay the kite on its back facing away from the wind
and walk upwind while you unroll the lines from the
D-nandles.
Don't worry about putting twists in your line. You can
fly normally with many twists, and to untwist them
you just need to turn the kite in the opposite
direction.
Expect some unplanned landings while you learn.
To avoid damaging your kite, inspect it after every
crash to be sure nothing is loose or tangled before
you re-launch.
When you've mastered the basics, try removing the
fail to speed up the kite and make more tricks
possible. Most infermediate and advanced tricks
can't be performed with a tail.
Insert the two thin standoff rods info the rubber
fittings on the lower spreaders. Again, be sure your
bridle lines aren't tangled.
Hang the kite from the bridles as shown, checking
that the kite is symmetrical and the bridle lines run
clear. Unwrap the tail and be sure it's not tangled.
Tie off both lines at
exactly the same
length (within 1/2")
Sweep your arms briskly down and backwards to
launch. Once you're airborne, pulling the right line will
turn clockwise, pulling left will furn counterclockwise.
