I've been lucky in that any way I've hung my blackbird its very comfortable. I've been hanging the foot end about 2-3" higher lately and find it plenty comfortable but I just set it up in the back yard and will most likely sleep outside tonight and I hung it about 6" higher on the foot end to test it out.
I do have trouble with getting the ridge line slack. I got it almost as slack as suggested today and its really comfortable but my problem is I'm so short, 5'7", that any hang further than say 14'ish my arms don't reach high enough to provide the steeper angle that would be needed unless I hang low. Not a problem for tonight with no UQ, but the majority of my hanging is done with a UQ so that give little room for it. So I guess I have to hang from trees of a short distance apart to atain that.
