OptiOn 1:
only recommended when you don’t have an assistant.
Release the primary security.
Ensure the safety leash is connected to the flag out line (see pictures, this is the recommended safety
option). Release the Megatron chicken loop, and the kite will flag out on one front line and fall to the
ground. (see seCURitY)
OptiOn 2:
only recommended in light winds.
Grab the Hand Brake with one hand then pull it behind your back and HOLD. The kite will stall evenly
and reverse to the ground.
take care not to release the Hand Brake until the kite has been secured with sand or snow.
