Flying Your SKYTIGER

SKYTIGER INSTRUCTIONS

Get  your  helper  to  stand  BEHIND  the
kite,  holding  it  up  so  that  the  Leading
Edge  is  facing  into  the  wind.  Once  the
kite  inflates,  the  helper  can  release  it.
It  is  important  not  to  “throw”  the  kite
into the air as this will prevent a smooth
take-off.

ASSISTED LAUNCH:

If you have someone to help you launch, make sure that they understand what you want them to
do, before launching your kite. Initial launches are best done at the edge of the wind window.

Steer the kite up the edge of the wind
window to the top of the window (above
your head), where it will stay in a stable
minimum power position.
