Just a thought (Edited)

Unrolled my access today just for the fun of it. While I had the lines and bar out I got thinking of the brake handle and was wondering if one of those would at all work with a Peter Lynn Arc with front line flag out?? I have in lighter winds used the landing handles to stall out the Scorpion so that a friend could grab it and weigh it down. Just wondering if this would work or just become a hazard. I was thinking also that on the long throw bar it could be kinda out of reach. Just trying to use my creative side that's all

Edit: To clarify what I'm thinking. I was wondering if a brake handle was attached to the outside rear lines on a Peter Lynn Arc could one use it to pull shortening the rear lines enough to cause the kite to stall and land. I realize that it couldn't work the same as a depower foil with a complete bridle setup but might be handy in some situations.

There might be a very easy fix for the long reach, similar to what you can do with the Turbo Bar.... will check it in the morning.
