Solo land Flysurfer FDS

AD72 - 24-5-2009 at 10:37 PM

What method do you use for solo landing a FDS Flysurfer kite. I have used the FDS by pulling the release on the chicken loop. Then I put a kite stake thru the eyelet from the fifth line and go up to the kite and unzip the back. The manual also says to use the pull stop handles. It would be nice to just land it and stake the brakes like a closed cell foil but I figure that does not happen since it is full of air still and wanting to take off. Which is great for water relaunch but gets kind of dicey on land as the kite rights itself and moves toward the power window. Thanks.

pull the rear line OS handles or stopper balls, induce backstall, and down she comes...........stake em off and there she'll sit...............................:lol::lol::duh::duh:

I stake the chicken loop and then wrap the rear lines behind the stake too. The kite will stay parked. Does that make sense? If not, look at this...

...at the bottom left of page 40 there is a picture that illustrates what I'm saying.

Thanks guys. The Pulse 2 manual has some better details as well.

Is there a Psycho 3 Manual out there somewhere too? I looked but the one on Flysurfer's site is not working.

Flysurfer makes you jump through a few hoops to get the Psycho 3 Manual. To make it easier, I have posted it where you can pull it down without any pagan rituals or animal sacrifices:

Note: Linux server is case sensitive for file names, so everything in lower case.
