Directing
Fly your parafoil kite as if riding a bicycle. Slight-
ly pulling the left end of the handle will make
your parafoil kite turn left, pulling the right side
of the handle will make it turn right (see fig. H
and fig. I). Maintaining the turns longer will have
your parafoil kite fly entire loops.
The closer you pull the flying line to your body
the smaller the loops.

Landing
To land the kite simply guide the parafoil kite far
right or left, i.e. out of the wind window (see fig.
A). It will slow down and slowly touch down.
After landing immediately retrieve the
parafoil kite, most importantly the fly-
ing lines to avoid damage or injury.
In strong winds the parafoil kite may again
begin to fill with air and lift off.
Storing the Parafoil Kite
Once you have secured the parafoil kite on the
ground, remove the larks head knot between
the two binding points of the flying line and
the flying line itself (see assembly overview).
Now secure the right binding point to the right
transport strap, and the left binding point to the
left transport strap of the trailing edge. This will
avoid the line from tangling before the next use.
Now remove any sand and dirt from the parafoil
kite. Be sure the parafoil kite is completely dry.
Now return the product to inside the transport
pouch. Also remove the larks head knots bet-
ween the flying lines and the guide handle. To
prevent the flying line from tangling hook each
end of the end strap over the flange of a winder
(fig. J). Now use the winder to wind the flying
line around the handle (fig. K). To secure wind
the last 20cm of the flying line diagonally across
the handle and slide the end straps under the
diagonal winding (fig. L).
