Hi, Just been sorting out my kite gear and dug out GK sonic 8m that I bought some time ago but have not used and I'm a bit confused about the power lines.

One is attached to a cord that runs through the bar to the chicken loop. The other goes through a steel ring and a ball but does not seem to be attached to anything... See photo

It looks like the black line with ball will shoot up the red and the kite colapse.

My kite also does not have the bit of plastic in the rope that the stopper jams against. Any idea where I can get one in the UK or can I make one out of wood?

Any help would be appreciated!
