First, of all the Spin-offs should be hooked together (trained) with 5 lines. One from each of the leading edge connectors and the 5th one from the bottom of the center spine. (Tee connector) Second, the length of the train lines should all be equal length at 80% of the length of the leading edge. When you get my book, it will show you how to tie the train lines to be equal length. Third, In most cases the bridle setting should be moved toward the nose about 1/4 inch. I hope this helps. If you have any problems let me know and I'll see what else I can do.
