Prism Fanatic Quick Start Manual

Safety
Remember, flying safely is your responsibility.
DO NOT FLY NEAR:
People Airports Power lines
First Flight
Attach your flying lines using a Lark's
Pigtail
Head knot as shown.
Flying line
Unwind your lines and check that the flying line in your right hand is connected to
the right-hand bridle with the kite pointed up. If not, switch hands. Some people
color code their line ends with a magic marker to make this check easy.
Clear your flying area. Make sure there are no people in your flying space.
A sharp, sweeping pull on both lines will launch your kite. Keep your arms by your
side and your hands low at all times for best control.
Tuning
Once you can keep the kite in the air comfortably in
Tighter, radical turns
moderate winds, try switching your bridle to the
radical setting for quicker turns and tighter spins. Find

Fanatic
Congatulations! The Fanatic is one of
the most popular sport kites we've ever
produced. It offers an ideal introduction to the
sport for the beginning pilot, but its adjustability
and responsiveness make it a kite you'll never
outgrow.
Once you've mastered the basics (it takes most people 1 to 3 hours
to get the hang of it), the Fanatic will keep growing with you
as you learn. Set the quick-adjust bridle to the radical setting
and challenge yourself with quicker tricks and tighter spins.
Adjustable standoffs let you explore the bottom end of the wind
range and tune the kite for your flying style.
Read this field card carefully to be sure you assemble and
adjust your new Fanatic correctly before flying. For loads of
information on all aspects of sport kiting, from kite tuning to
the latest tricks, visit our website at www.prismkites.com.
