I have a similar set up problem to " psycho from hell " with my Warrior 12.5, steers like a pig, dives but then won't come back up. I adjusted the black depower line to the end of the thick rope at the bar end ( both directions ) but that didn't seem to help. A friend has told me that I am still "flaps down" at the trailing edge so to speak, can someone tell me whether or not adjusting the steering lines one way or the other will help??
Appreciate it.

Move the depowerknot on the black depowerline down in 2cm steps towards the bar and see how it flies and behaves.

(I think your current knot is too far up the depowerline)

sounds like the bridal is wrapped behind the kite.

The flaps always look activated at the warrior even if you push the bar to maximum.

If you want to try something new, then modify the Warrior with our UDS-Power-/Depowersystem. That makes you independent from the "Flysurfer-Tuning"

With this system you can tune the kite however you like and you will have a better performance, higher jumps and easier relaunch.

Hi Low Profile.

If you move the Knot of the depowerline up, the Kites becomes more depowered. The Warrior like every other kite turns depowered more slowly.
If you take all 3 leader lines in on hand, the knots should be all at the same point. If you power up, the flaps must directly come down. Otherwise it will not realy steer.

Bye, Armin
