TRIMMING
Tension the mixer and secure the ends of the front and stee-
ring lines (e.g. an assistant can hold them). The position of the
lines should not change during the whole mixer test.
Bring the C-Level up to the A and Z Level and tension the
mixer (min. 5 kg tensile load per line). All knots should be at the
same level at standard trim.
If this is not the case, you just have to move the metal ring of
the mixer (C-Level) until all 3 knots are at the same level.
Tip:
The mixer is basically a 2:1 pulley system. If you want to
change the B-Level by one centimeter, you will need to move
the ring by two centimeters.
Bring the B-Level up to the A, C and Z Levels and tension the
mixer. All four knots at the same level create a standard factory
trim(+/- 0cm).

Bring the B-Level up to the A, C and Z bridle connection knots
and tension the mixer. All four knots at the same level create a
standard factory trim(+/- 0cm).
If this is not the case, you just have to move the metal ring of
the mixer (B-Level) until all 4 knots are at the same level.
Done. Be sure to pull everything properly tight again after
adjusting, so that the trim stays under tension.
Tip:
When the mixer is set to the standard trim (+/- 0cm), e.g.
all four knots are at the same level. It is enough to only move
the metal ring of the mixer (C-Level) to change the basic trim.
The B-Level automatically adjusts half the amount of the C-
Level when modifying.
12.02 Bridle-Check
The bridle check can be done by measuring and comparing the
knots of the black marked lines at the canopy to compensate
stretch or shrink of the bridle. The individual levels of the kite
are controlled with dierent ratios by the Mixer and thus influ-
ence the angle of attack and the curvature of the profile.
Sort out the mixer. Hold the loops next to black marked lines
at the canopy in line from A-Z in one level.
