Now doing this with a de-power would be a real trick.

actually would push the air out going backwards, right? challenging to keep filled and happy.

cool

Nice work!!

to do it with a depower you just grab way up on the lines, parking handle area if you have them. that'll make the kite fly in reverse, or strap/sheet in if you have that much line you can pull in.

Cool...I'll have to try that next time I'm out.

Lunchbox, did you have a chance to try a reverse loop? Were you successful?
Anybody else give it a try?

I actually have tried with my NASA wings, both the 4.8 and the 7M in lighter winds. I get about half way through, and the TE tucks, almost like a nose tuck. I'll keep trying and post a vid when I get it all the way.
