It sounds funny but at 1st try not to fly the kite. Just try to control it. Take it to zenith ( above your head ) and just try and keep it calm for a
4 or 5 real minutes. Pay attention to keeping the brake lines slack. Nearly all you problems will be brake related. That or large jerky actions . Try
and be ahead of what is going to happen and use gentle motion.
After 4 or so minutes then start flying it back and forth a bit. Then do figure 8's. Try and work deeper into the power zone feeling how it comes on
and off at the kite passes through. Then feel how the kite will sit at the edge of the wind window just like it did overhead all the way down both
sides. This will all take about 1/2 hour but will make moving forward much easier.
