I have a question regarding control of 4-line LEI kites.

I'm just getting started and per the advice that I keep seeing from the overwhelming majority, I'm trying to go as slowly and smartly as possible.

I'm living in southern Kuwait (not much help down here) and have spent the past three months learning to master a 2.4m Flexfoil traction kite. Before I progress to the next level, I'm trying to get as much info as possible.

I haven't been able to find much info on the internet that covers the complete rigging (from the bar, all the way to the kite attach points) of a 4-line LEI. From what I've seen, it looks to me like the control (outside) lines on the LEI are attached to the trailing edge (opposite of my current kite). I want to know if what I think I'm seeing is correct. If that is the case, what method of control is this (braking, increased lift)? I'm trying to get it straight in my head because it doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks in advance!
