| • Depower line, bridles and pulleys in good condition (check pulleys on kite or pulleys on bridles) Basic rules for launching YOUR KITE MUST ALWAYS BE LAUNCHED FROM THE EDGE OF THE WIND WINDOW, NEVER FROM THE CENTRE DOWN WIND. The power would be far too great for you to control. You would endanger your own life and those of others around you. This is still true in light winds. Get into the habit of checking the connecting of the leash to the chicken loop before even picking up the control bar. YOUR CHICKEN LOOP (DE-POWER LOOP) ON YOUR CONTROL BAR MUST ALWAYS BE HOOKED INTO THE HARNESS HOOK FOR LAUNCHING. This will allow you to reduce power during launching by FULLY de-powering (pushing the control bar away from you). |
