Tom, Have you tried using a "V" 5th line bridle? Have Keith make some attachment points on the front about 3 feet apart off center and bring the lines down 6 feet to a v then attach 5th line. This helped with my wipika and kept it from inverting

That is the system the North Rebel 08 has. Is a V fifth line bridle. I flew Cornel's Rebel this past week and really like that kite. I'm also a big fan of 5th lines mainly for safety reasons. I feel safer and from experience that additional line has helped me many times in different situations. I remember once when I was riding at Picnic Island and wind picked up maybe to 25 knots and I was flying my old "Machine". There was no people at the beach, so I self landed the kite just by unhooking and letting go the bar. Like Jayson has said it is a system that save lives.
