Staking a Pulse 2


Having flown Flexi and Ozone kites up 'til now I've gotten used to staking my kites on the ground by the reverse launch strap while taking a break. When I flew my Pulse 2 this last weekend for the first time (which I freakin' loved!) I found that I had no way to leave the kite. I ended up gulping down a gatorade while holding the kite at the edge of the window.

Any suggestions?

Also, still flying the FDS. Any suggestions on how to self land without a total mess?

Thanks in advance!

Greg

I dont have the handles on my Pulse2 and Speed2 so I just wrap the rear lines around the stake

Going to FDS doesn't usually end up in a mess for me :puzzled:

Of course you can bring it down like your other kites. By pulling on the back lines then staking it as shown above!

I haven't actually deployed the FDS under load...had someone catch the kite at the edge. Had a totally sweet honeymoon session with the kite. I suppose I should experiment a little...maybe reverse launch and whatnot.

Good call on looping the back lines. Thanks for the pic.
