One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.

The kite needs your skilled hand to tune it.

I like mine best with the Z-line shortened with an extra turn around the spreader and the Y-line not too tight, pulling out the x-line only about 2-4 cm from straight. A bit different from what Mr. Horvath says. Also I moved the tow point about 2 cm forward, that makes the kite turn easier.

EXACTLY !!!!!!
BTW, nice UN there Erik !!

My tuning was trial and error.  There seems to be a fine line between too much Y-line tenson and not enough.  A correctly tensioned Y-line allows the kite to go into a nice flat glide.
