I've been flying now for about a year.  I still haven't figured out how to 
make adjustments to the bridal on my kites.  I feel like an idiot asking a 
question like this but anyone have some hints and guide lines.  I can't figure 
out even how to change the bridals position or what happens when I move it, if 
I could!

TIA, for helping a neo novice.

        Bridle line 1 start at A' then to C' ending at D
        Bridle line 2 start at A" then C" ending at D
        Two separate lines starting at B' ending at C' and
        one starting at B" and ending at C"


1) If the kite starts good, but isn't controllable make line(s) AC longer (DC
will be shorter). The kite can start more difficult (depening on the type of
kite) and should be more controllable.
2) If the kite doesn't start, make line(s) AC shorter (DC will be longer).

If the kite starts good but is very nervous when you stear it, make lines BC
longer.

Hope this helps,

Usually what works for me is just asking the bride if she'd like to 
change position.  Most modern women are happy to experiment on their
honeymoon night ;)  

heh heh...gotcha.
