     Too Many kite builders overlook the importance of a balanced 
frame.   There is a critical relationship between the  center  of 
gravity of the frame and the center of pressure of the sail.  The 
brut force approach to solve your problem would be to  experiment 
with  changing  the  weight  of  the  top  spreader.   At   first 
impression  from your description I would think the top  spreader 
is too heavy.

                        Hope This Helps,
