Landing
To land the kite simply guide the parafoil kite far right or left, i.e. out of the
wind window (see page 6, wind window). It will slow down and slowly
touch down.
After landing immediately retrieve the parafoil kite, most
importantly the flying lines to avoid damage or injury.
In strong winds the parafoil kite may again begin to fill with air and lift off.
Storing the Parafoil Kite
Once you have secured the parafoil kite on the ground, remove the lar-
ks head knot between the two binding points of the flying line and the
flying line itself (see assembly overview page 5). Now secure the right
binding point to the right transport strap, and the left binding point to the left
transport strap of the trailing edge. This will avoid the line from tangling
before the next use. Now remove any sand and dirt from the parafoil kite.
Be sure the parafoil kite is completely dry.
Now return the product to inside the transport pouch. Also remove
the larks head knots between the flying lines and the guide handle.
To prevent the flying line from tangling hook each end of the end strap
over the flange of a winder (fig. 5).
Now use the winder to wind the
flying line around the handle (fig. 6).
To secure wind the last 20 cm of the
flying line diagonally across the
handle and slide the end straps under
the diagonal winding (fig. 7).
