Kite system

Thekiteconsistsof:awingwithwinglines,powerlinesandcon-

trollines,acontrolbarandreleasesystem.

Wing

The“Alasca-2”kitehasawingofthe“parafoil”type-itsconstruc-

tionremindsasmallparaglider.Thewingconsistsoftwotextile

layers-theupperandthebottomsurfaces,aswellasinnerribs

thatformthewingprole.Tofullthewingwithairthereareair

inletsattheleadingedgeofthekite.Theribshaveopeningsfor

airowinsidethewing.Onthebottomsurfacethereareloops

wherethewinglinesaremounted.

Wing lines

Thewinglinesareusuallyadaptedbytheproducer.Theydene

thewingform.Whilecorrectusageofthewing,thewinglines

nevergettangled.

Oneendofeachextender(powerlinesandcontrollines)is

mountedtothewing,whileanotherone-tothebar.Theex-

tendersareproducedfromthedyneemalineandhave25me-

terslength.Connectionoftheextenderswiththekiteandthe

barismadethoughrunningloopsontheknotssituatedonthe

endsofwinglinesandbarleads.

Extenders

Control bar

Powerlinesjoinbeforethebar,cometoitsmiddle,enter

throughtheopeninginthebarandxtothechicken-loopsys-

tem.Thissystemallowstoxthebartotheharnesshookand

preventanyunintentionaldetachesofthekitefromthepilot.

Besides,betweenthechicken-loopsystemandthepowerlines

thereisafastreleasesystemthatallowstoreleasethekitefrom

thepilotincaseofemergency.

Onthepowerlinesbeforethebarthereisasystemthatchang-

estheangleofattack-atrimmer.Whileloosingthetrimmeryou

increasethetractionpowerofthewing,whilepullingthetrim-

mer,youlessenit.Withthehelpofthetrimmeryoucanchange

thetractionpowerofthekiteduringtheride.

Rememberthatwhenthetrimmeristightenedyourkiteismore

likelytocollapse.

Apartfromthetrimmerthereisanothersystemthatcanin-

stantlychangethetractionpowerofyourkite-thisisadepower

system.Whilepullingthebar,youincreasethetraction,while

loosingit,youlessenit.

Oneofthesafetysystemsisaleash,onesideofwhichisxed

totheextenders,anotheronetotherider’sequipment.Incase

ofemergencyreleasethekiteisstillconnectedtotheridervia

theleash.Ifneeded,theleashcanbereleasedfromtherideras

well.

-denethedirectionofthewind;

-placeyourkiteapartfromthemainridingarea,ifpossiblemark

yourplaceofstartwithags.Youshouldleaveenoughspace

downwindfromthekitetothenearestobstacle(thestronger

thewindis,thelagerthespaceshouldbe);

-xthewingonthesurface(pourwithsnoworpresswitha

rucksackoranyotherobjectontheice);

-unreel,untangleandplacetheextendersalongthedirectionof

thewind;

-xthebaronthesurface-eithertoaniceaxeortoaski,put

intothesnowwithitsheel.Whileusingtheiceaxemarkitwitha

pieceofabrightmaterialtobeabletoseeitfromadistance.

Preparation for the start.

Start with an assistant.

Giveasignthatyouareready.Yourassistantshouldstaybe-

hindthekite,raiseitfromtheground,holdingitfortheleading

edgeatthetopofhisbreast.Inthispositionthekiteiswelllled

withairandgainsitsworkingform.Yourassistantgivesyoua

signthatheisreadyandleavesthekite.Whenthekiteislledit

iesupexcellentlyandisreadytouse.Yourassistantshouldnot

throwupthekite.Itiesupindependentlyevenbyaminimal

wind.

Independent start.

Pullthefrontlinessothatthefrontedgeofyourkiteisup.The

kiteislledwithairthoughtheairinletsandwiththehelpofits

liftforceitthrowsdownthesnow.Atthebeginningofthestart

payattentionthatyourkitedoesnotturnover:ifoneoftheears

goesfaster,slowitdownbythebar.

Start

Awindwindowisazone,wherethekitecanstayintheairand

producetractiveforce.

Aneutralzoneisazoneontheborderofthewindwindow,

wherethekitealmostlosesitstraction.

Aneutralpositionisazonesituatedalmostabovetheheadof

therider,wherethekitedoesnothaveanytractionandneeds

minimumattention.

Aworkzoneistheinnerzoneofthewindwindow,wherethe

kitecreatesthetractionpower.Aborderofthewindwindowis

theleftandtherightbordersofthewindwindowzone.

Control of the kite

Thekitecanbecontrolledandcreatesthetractionpoweronly

undertheconditionthatthepowerlinesandcontrollinesare

loaded.Ifariderallowsthelinestodrop,helosesthecontrol

overhiskite.

Toraisethekiteintotheairyoushouldpullthepowerlines

(enteringthemiddleofthebar),whilemaximallyloosingthebar

fromyou.

Tolandthekiteyoushouldevenlyandsimultaneouslytighten

thecontrollinesatthepackingarch.Inordertoensureacom-

fortablestartofyourkitenexttime,youshouldlanditinthe

centerofthewindwindowwithitsleadingedgeupwards.

ofthebar.Thekitegoestotherightifyoupulltherightsideof

thebartowardsyourselfandloosetheleftsideofthebar.

Ifyourkitehasfallenontheborderofthewindwindow,toraise

ityoushouldmoveinthedirectionoftheplace,wherethekite

fell,keepingthelinesstretched,soyoucangetinthepositionof

thestart.

Ifyourkitehasfallenwithitsleadingedgedownwards,you

shouldpullthecontrollinesthatarexedattheendsofthebar.

Thekitewillyupwithitsbackedgeupwards.Looseoneofthe
