I feel my R-sky diablis is nose heavy,
is very hard to get into the fade and after getting in, to maintain.
is there anything that i can do to make fade easier beside keep training.

Re: Kite Nose Heavy
Is it a stock R-Sky version? I know there a some tweaks to make it more like Christian Derefat's original design. Should be available somewhere on here...

Re: Kite Nose Heavy
yes, is modified but i`will check (measure) again.

"R-Sky Diablis, red, updated to Christian Derefats (designer) specs."
and then found that stand-offs where about 15mm out on one side, i moved them to right spots??? ( where is the right spots???).

Re: Kite Nose Heavy
I think that's the Diablis that you bought from me, the specs as sent were the specs as I got them from Christian when I last saw him.
Whatever the lengths of the spreaders they are correct.
Trying to maintain a basic fade with a kite like that takes practice and movement, it's not the easiest as it wants to be tricked, so it's not stable.

Add a small amount of weight to the tail.
