Abstract (en)
A control assembly (50) for a four-line power kite, comprising: a tether (52) for tethering an individual to a pair of front lines (20C,D) of the power kite; an elongate member (54) having a pair of opposed ends (56A,B), each for attachment to one of a pair of rear lines (20A,B) of the power kite; and a guide member (58) mounted on or in the elongate member between the opposed ends and defining an aperture (60) for slidably receiving the tether when varying position of the elongate member along the tether. The tether (52) has a profile which provides a plurality of discrete positions for interengagement with a corresponding profile of the guide when position of the elongate member relative to the tether has been set. For example, the tether (52) may be in the form of a toothed belt (62). <IMAGE>
