Hi, just got a flysurfer kite and pulled the safety pin to see how it works, the "FDS" safety is very nice, folds in half and just comes down.
However, how do u put it back together? The manual talks about feeding a half force white line through a blue line and then just jam it back in the
sleeve? And it looks like there's also a double force option? Which one do most people use? I was surprised there wasn't some mechanism to hold the
pin in place after you put it back in. Does anyone have a link to like a video of putting it back together or some step by step diagrams?
Thanks for any help.

I think if you look closely you will see a little pocket to poke the pin in. I have missed the little pocket and gotten away with it just jammed in
there but I don't jump much. I use the white loop but am light weight.

Well, according to the manual for half force, you take the white line with loop and thread that through the blue loop on the end of the chickenloop
(red line in the picture), then you thread that white line with loop up through the 2nd blue loop (purple line) and then you take the pin and push
that into the pocket/sleeve thing just above that second blue loop and it will actually hold it in there? I was just putting the white loop and the
first blue loop over the pin and putting it in the sleeve and it would easily come back out....
(if you right click on my picture and click view image you should get to see a larger version)

Inside in exactly the spot that the yellow line is, is the little pocket. it is hard to see. Once the pin is in the pocket the bungy force helps keep
it there ? Then fold the neoprene over the mess !
