How to recover from an invert -ed Peter Lynn Arc Kite

if you ride and suddenly loose line tension (due to a lull, gusty wind or a riding error) your arc kite might invert. try to land it with the leading edge down. now keep the front lines under tension and walk a bit towards the kite, till it flips over and lays flat on the ground , bottom down. now the wind will catch under the kite and it will relaunch by itself.

synergy 10 and 15m. I got a triple bowtie, inverted kite facing down, up... and a bunch of other stuff happen. Hopefully in the next few days I'll sort it out as I just arrived in kite paradise. Relaunch has been a pain too. Will try to get some of those techniques down tomorrow if the wind is good.

@cinciphantom : dont give up! arc kites are a bit special. once dialed in, you will have tons of fun. always keep a bit of bar pressure - the synergy wants to overfly sometimes in very gusty conditions. (thats not a bad thing, rather a sign of performance. only low level performance kites dont overfly. high performance race kites like ozone yakuza or PL vapor need active control on the brakes to avoid overflying)

good luck ! and maybe make some videos - i am always interested in arc kite vids!

best thing is not to let happen an invert. always keep your line tension while riding.

if you happen to get an invert, you need some luck (as in this video) to relaunch.

Great video by the way! and the other one of taco relaunch is extremely helpful as well, I could have used those techniques today if I had understood them beforehand ;)

@cinciphantom : what arc kite do you have ? also a scorpion? you must know that the scorpion is the most "demanding" arc kite regarding handling on the ground. once in the air though its a very powerful and fast kite.

[cinciphantom]

what if the kite is facing upward instead of downward and wants to fly inverted?

You are very professional. Obviously your skill exceeds the kite - you need a bigger kite. Sell me your 7m Scorpion ...

;D
