my switchblade 9m inverted on me when i tried to unhook and it fell back in the window and it inverted. How do i rig my kites so that i can unhook and not have the kite falling out of the sky.

Before unhookin try trimming a hole hell of a lot, so you won't stall your xbow.

Same with the T2 if you want to unhook you need to trim a bunch.

First check your line length and make sure all 4 lines are even. You should also be rigged on the center knot. Sounds like your front lines may be stretched a little. The Switchblades are known for there simplicity while unhooking and unless you are lit, you should be able to unhook without trimming or as shymac states, just trim it abit before unhooking.

Good luck!!
