Introduction: Flexifoil Kite Stacking Lines
There is published infromation on flexifoil stacking lines but this seems to be referencing non-existant links to flexifoil international or some private sites such as This is the Flexifoil Super 10 power kite (leonsmith.co.uk) and The Power Kite Site - Stacking Flexifoils (kitepower.com) which could disappear at any minute.

Step 1: Creating the Knots
Depending on the version of flexifoil kite cut the appropiate length of braided line (Example Supler 10 so 1829 + 300 mm)
Two knots are used
A - Simple Knot
B - Overhand Knot
- Measure 75mm from the end of the line and tie knot (A)
- Fold the line at knot (A)
- Tie Two knots (B) where the end meets the main line
The two knots are needed for stacking
Step 2: Stacking
Assuming that there are only two kites to stack
One knot is used
C - Larks head knot (Cow hitch)
- Attach the stacking line to the main line at the join of the two knots (B)
- Attach the main line to the flexifoil spar using knot (C)
- Attack the stacking line to the flexifoil spar using knot (C)
Keep stacking if you have more kites
