Launching

ATTENTION! Always verify the suitability of the field (see
safety notices, page 4-5), determine the wind direction and
force (using e.g. special wind gauges – not included – availa-
ble at speciality retailers). Also note the description of wind
forces page 10-11.
Ideally, have an assistant hold the parafoil kite with the bottom facing the
wind. The air cell openings should be facing upward (fig. 2). Now step
backwards against the wind until the flying line is taut. You assistant should
still be holding on to the kite. Once you give the command your assistant
will release the parafoil kite. Do not toss the parafoil kite into the air! In
sufficient wind you will only need to firmly jerk the flying line now, and
perhaps another step backwards. Pay attention to other persons
or obstacles.
