De-power kite ''lesson'' / guide ?

i soon want to move to de-power (see my other post ?)

ive been looking for a while, but cant see anywhere a guide to the basics of de-power kites..

how to set up / pack down.
how to adjust the de-power.
how to fly with the (rather complex looking) bar set up.
safety measures.
Etc Etc

all of that kind of stuff that many of you take for granted knowing, i know none of that, and if i get a de-power kite, i would be a big clueless !

Thanks for our help
Tim

its real important to hang w/ some folks that are flyin DP's at your local launch.. read up on what you can, be nice, ask solid questions and fly your own kite w/ some proficiency and at some point they will give you a go w/ their foil. thats how it went down w/ me. kiters are a friendly bunch...thank god.
