Prism Micron Field Manual

Page 1
Try flying several Microns at once in a train! A stack of Microns is spectacular to watch, and if you tune up your reflexes you can do all the same tricks with a stack that you can with a single kite. To stack multiple kites, connect the kites using 5 stack lines exactly equal in length between each kite. The lines should be approximately the length of one leading edge and connect to the center T and spreader fittings. Complete stacking info is available on the Prism CDROM and the Prism website: www.prismkites.com.
"Like a bumblebee on amphetamines," the Micron is probably the quickest kite you've ever flown. Don't expect to have perfect control immediately unless you were an ace fighter pilot in a previous life!
When you're first getting to know the Micron, fly it with just your fingertips, keeping your wrists touching each other so that you make only tiny control movements. In a stiff breeze, some pilots like to put it on longer, heavier lines and add a tail to slow things down a bit. Once you've got the knack, try stacking two,
three or more Microns on the same lines to put on a real show.
Read this field card carefully to be sure you assemble and adjust your new Micron correctly before flying. For loads of information on all aspects of sport kiting, from kite tuning to
stacking to the latest tricks, visit our website at www.prismkites.com.

Unwind your lines and check that the flying line in your right hand is connected to the right-hand bridle with the kite pointed up. If not, switch hands. Some people color code their line ends with a magic marker to make this check easy.
Clear your flying area. Make sure there are no people in your flying space. A sharp, sweeping pull on both lines will launch your kite. Keep your arms by your side and your hands low at all times for best control.
Attach your flying lines to the two yellow pigtails on the bridle using a Lark's Head knot as shown.
