Factory markings were 225mm too long !!!!

quite agree !!!! :

The Prussic knot is a great knot, used alot in climbing, it will not slide down the line when under load , but will easly be pushed up , and easly down when not loaded. Which seems to be happening to the revo tip steer lines when not loaded !!. I will get the wing out and measure the brake line length (3000 mm). In the meantime, im glad i kept my old revo !!!

Hi , thanks for the replies. I have not changed the slack adjustment from my first post , ie (approx inch of the pully) . But i have tonight ground handled the wing with trims fully out and I still have the same amount of slack , (Mabye more??????????) in the brake lines . not botherd about speed bar use . Im meant to be flying the f***king thing , than pissing around sorting line lengths on the ground forever more !!!. Taking it up next sutible day.

Ok, thanks for the advice , i see whats being said and it makes sense . But why is the revo manual , stateing that to double check the lengths , kite and have no more slack than a couple of centimeters before pulling on trailing edge. this clashes with the line markings ??

Surely on full reflex trim the brake line length stays the same , but just means the toggles are higher ?

Iv had the new revo 2 out of the bag for first time . 1st prob slipped tip steer lines. going to remove them , till i get used to the wing . Next prob is the brake lines being long ,too long. Comes set for low hang points . iv a bailey high hang set up . Using the the 2 marks paramania put on the line im still finding them too long ! , need to take up another 4 inches above the higher mark. Going to set them by kiting the wing , and getting a couple of centimeters movement befofe pulling the trailing edge , Bit different to the manuals advice i know.. Any thoughts on this by anyone ??
