TRIMMING
If you shorten a PMA on the bottomside of the wing, the aerofoil
becomes faster and the wing tips are more likely to fold.
Shortened PMA‘s on the bottomside
Caution:
Shortened PMA‘s on the bottomside are only recom-
mended for experienced foilkite users.
The PMA‘s are located along the ribs on both upper side and bot-
tom side of the wing on the following positions:
Positions SONIC 9, 11, 13, 15 & 18
Reach into the closest air intake valve to get to the PMA.
Pull it out through the outer opening.
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.
12.03 Profile Moment Adjuster (PMA‘s)
Note:
It is important to check the kite first as it is shown in
the bar manual in the trim check section. Changing the PMAs
should only be done by a professional when the bar, lines, mi
-
xer, bridle and sail have been checked.
The PMA‘s are small knotted lines with two settings which are
stitched into the aerofoil on the top and bottom. Therbeby the
aerofoil can be directly adjusted as illustrated below.
Standard form (Neutural position)
If you shorten a PMA on the top of the wing, the aerofoil becomes
slower and more stable.
