aerobatics, check out the FLIGHT TRAINING section of the Prism CDROM or the
Prism website at www.prismkites.com.
Tuning
Your Prophecy comes factory-tuned to fly optimally in 8-10 mph winds. Once
you've gotten used to the feel of the kite, you may want to learn more about
tuning your bridle and standoff positions to optimize the kite for lighter and
stronger winds. Two primary adjustments are shown below. Complete information
on sport kite tuning is available on the Prism CDROM and also on the prism
website at www.prismkites.com.
Wind speed
From the factory black mark, move the tow points
UP for light winds
towards the nose (up) for easier flight in light
+ very high winds (3/8")
winds.
TOW POINT
Move them away from the nose (down) for better
stalls and more pull in stronger winds.
DOWN for
stronger winds
(1/4"- 1")
In very strong winds, reduce pull and frame stress
by moving the tow points upwards again.
Turn rate
You can change how tightly the kite spins by
moving the black bridle legs to different knot
Tightest spins
positions on the Active Bridle as shown.
Factory setting
Making the kite spin tighter also increases pull
Wide spins
slightly.
Settings for wide spins reduce pull and give more
precise tracking for team and pairs flying.

Prophecy
The Prophecy is our ultimate, no
compromises, no holds barred solution for
long line flying. If you enjoy flying a big wind
window with a full-sized kite, the Proph will let
you take your skills as far as you want to go. Its
consistent and controllable speed, incredible precision,
and rail-straight tracking make it ideal for serious pairs
or team flying as well.
We designed the Prophecy as our local flying scene grew and
more and more people started flying informally in teams and
pairs. People wanted a kite that would do all the hottest
tricks but be big enough and stable enough for very precise
formation flying. The Proph does all the tricks, but in a
wonderfully slow and graceful way that lets you keep flying
the kite all the way through each maneuver.
Please read this field card carefully to be sure you assemble
and adjust your new Prophecy correctly before flying. For

tuning to the latest tricks, visit our website at
