have an 08 rev 13, which has been great, but i have a question on knot selection for optimal performance. i have been using the last knot (furthest from kite) on all four lines with no apparent issues, but i have been reading that shorter back lines will improve the flying. what have other people been noticing with different settings. thanks

All the way out is what is what most everyone does. I wouldn't choke up the back lines, unless it feels like the kite is undersheeted to ya. Definately will boost harder when they're trimmed correctly though.

Yeah, I would say front and back on the some knot with the revs. I do find that I like to shorten my back lines/lengthen the fronts on my T3's. The factory setting seems way undersheeted on the T3's.

Anybody else notice that?
