Premier Kites Speedfoil RM8 Instructions

LANDING:

The correct landing technique is to steer to the edge of the wind window and allow
the kite to sink gently to the ground. Do not dive your SpeedFoil® into the ground.

PERFORMANCE TIPS:

• Kite always flies to one side; Check the flying lines are equal in length.
• Kite "bounces" up and down; There may be sand or water inside the sail.
Land and remove it. Allow the sail to dry if it is very wet.
• Wing tips flap in flight; This is a sign that the sail in not fully inflated. The sail
is most likely over stretched on the spar. Move each attachment loop towards
the middle of the spar by about half an inch to an inch to slacken the sail.
• Kite hesitates at take off; There may not be enough wind or the wind may be
too turbulent to allow the SpeedFoil® to attain its characteristic flight curve.
Slightly sluggish flight may also be due to the kite not being "broken in" in
a fresh breeze to stretch the fabric. Try flying in smoother, stronger wind.
• In "Stacks", one kite lags back; Adjust the attachment points inwards
on the spar to slacken the sail of the slower kite. Also try swapping the
position of the kite in the stack.

STACKING:

SpeedFoils® can easily be "stacked" for more power or visual impact. With the enclosed pre-tied
stacking lines, you can easily add one or more Speedfoils® to the back of your kite. Carefully
follow the diagrams below for installing the stacking lines making sure both kites are the
correct side up. Stacks are best launched using a helper holding the kite furthest away
from the flyer up into the air.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR HIGH PERFORMANCE RAM-AIR POWER KITE
Be sure to avoid flying near cars, people, power lines, and airports. Stunt kites can move at high
speeds and are capable of inflicting damage on people and property. Both the kite and flying
lines represent potential hazards. The kite and line can hit or cut with high force while moving at
high speeds. Use your stunt kite with extreme care. Flying safely is your sole responsibility.
