Mike, If the kite is just coming towards you when you make the second pull, it is probbly the kite. I had a Sturdy Saber, which did the same on (I think) Slots. The second pull is more of a slower lawn mower type pull and it helps if you can manage the slack so that there is next to no slack when you start the move. Slack is critical to the rotation, so you need to give a lot of slack as soon as you have made the hand movement otherwise the kite will partially rotate before the lines go taut and stop the rotation. A very large step forward of even running a few short steps wil help no end. Bcause of the Covid restrictions in the uK, I haven't flown at all this year, so the above is based on recollection rather than recent practice. Hope it helps! Jon

All things ebb and flow. That’s just how things go. If you’d be willing to learn German, Drachenforum is still pretty active. So is the French one. (Au fil du vent)

Lam could Taz a chaise lounge. What he can do offers very little insight into what a kite is good at. Most SUL’s are difficult to Taz. I’m sure the Dream Machine is better than many, but I would expect it to be much easier to learn on a Std or even a UL.

Another 1st Sunday wow fly coming up, TOMORROW big wind expected, Mesh calling your name out loud,..... come to west Covington park, where security welcomes us, parking is convenient and the group members are practicing safety together, socially distanced as you're all lepers infected, except me, ha!
