I'm going on the philosophy that "no question is a stupid question." I have a 12m Liquid Force Menace. Is it possible to rig this kit with a 4
line/2 handle set up? (no harness, bar, etc) How do you all imagine it would fly? I know this lei kite is mainly for kiteboarding so im sure you are
asking why would I want to do this. I want to kitejump since I can't get to the beach for a while. I have a full time job starting in August.
Prolly will be flying the kite in 5-15 mph winds.

Bad idea, people have tried, some have succeeded, but you're losing control of the main plus side to the kite, the depower. Also, LEI's are meant to
fly with the leading edge held still while the back edges are tweaked for steering/control, you'll have to figure a way to get this out of handles,
you can't simply hook them up to the front lines and expect it to fly.
If you're looking to do some kitejumping, I'd say go for it with the LEI, but use a harness and the bar that came with the kite.
