The shortening of the front lines by means of the trimmer will have impact on the length of the
back lines. Shortened back lines (i.e. open trimmer) create more backstall with less remaining
pull. Though, if the back lines are tightened too much, the kite is more likely to relaunch or flutter.
We recommend to keep the trimmer completely open if you park the kite on the ground.
Attention:
if in this position the kite nevertheless produces a dangerous amount of pull, e.g.
strongly increasing wind, you are not able to release yourself from the kite, due to the back-
leader lines being hooked in your harness-hook! Use this method only with low wind!
Provided there is a stable pilar, tree or ground anchor available you can secure the kite similarly:
hook the depowerloop in the ground anchor as well as both drawn through back leader lines.
It might suffice to hook in both back leader lines in the demonstrated drawn through position on
the fixed point.
To secure the kite similarly on a tree you can also use your harness and wrap it around the tree.
