  • Page 4 ASSEMbLY Assemble your Zephyr for flight as you would a typical sport kite: 1. Unfold the sail and lay it out on a flat surface face up. 2. Slide the upper and lower leading edge spars together at the ferrule hidden inside the leading edge pocket. The male ferrule is glued into the upper leading edge spar, and the lower leading edge slides onto it.
  • Page 5 Adding weight also tames the kite in stronger winds (10+ mph) because the wind has to do more work to keep it flying. With weight, your Zephyr will fly slower and pull less hard as the breeze comes up, a nice bonus that lets you fly one kite in a wider wind range.

    YO-YO STOPPERS The Yo-Yo is an advanced trick in which you flip the kite on its back and then all the clipped on your leading edge between the upper and lower spreader elbows act as way around so that the lines are wrapped one or more times around the kite. Many hooks to catch your lines in a position that lets you steer the kite around in a rolled-up other radical combinations are possible based on the yo-yo.
