Solo land Flysurfer FDS
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.

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...

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.
