Prism Legacy Quick Start Manual

Safety
Remember, flying safely is your responsibility.
DO NOT FLY NEAR:
Airports Power lines
People
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
complete tuning information in the "Flight Training"
section of your Prism CDROM or on the Prism website

Legacy
If you're just getting into sport kites,
congratulations - you've made a great choice
in kites! The Legacy is tough and forgiving
enough to learn on but its sophisticated wing
shape and excellent balance make it a kite you'll
never outgrow.
Once you've mastered the basics (it takes most people 1 to 3 hours
of flying to get the hang of it), set the quick-adjust bridle to the
radical setting and challenge yourself with quicker turns and tighter
spins. When you're ready to advance into light wind flying, upgrade
your Legacy with the High Performance carbon frameset and fly
effortlessly on those days when there's hardly a breath of wind.
Read this field card carefully to be sure you assemble and
adjust your new Legacy correctly before flying. For loads of
information on all aspects of sport kiting, from kite tuning to
