I run a single line from the lowest attach point thru the center to the next attach point, etc. Sometimes i have to slide one of the leading edge rods forward or back to balance the flight out. If they are 6 foot wingspans try 7 feet between attachpoints.

That is what is making the kites, all 4 of them, dive all over the place. There must be an answer to this somewhere. After all, they're only kites!

On Mine I run it infront of the spreaders. I tried it behind the spreaders first but the dived all over the place. It's worth a try anyway.
