Relaunch Peter Lynn Arc Kite from Taco Position

if you crashed your kite or it got down due to light winds, bring it into taco position. then sharply pull the front lines until it starts to open up. in good winds the kite will now relaunch on its own. in light winds, as in the video shown here, you will have to pump the kite up. by alternately pulling the frontlines and immediately pulling the bar in again, to stall the kite a bit. this will open it up. then pull again on the front lines, to let it rise.

wind: around 8-10knots
kite: PL Scorpion 13 sqm
