Hey all
Wondering how to relaunch a Naish Torch or just a normal c kite.
i fly a Bandit Dos is it that much different to delta relaunch?
ive heard its theres a real nack to doing it
all help appreciated.
cheers

If its a definate C, you need to either swim towards and roll onto its back or use the 5th line to do the same (if fitted)
One thing tho is not to let the kite roll all the way back, just enough to expose the wing tips in the air to then be able to pull the left or right line so that it catches some load and starts to track to the edge of the window. At this stage the harder you pull on that side the quicker it wil turn around and relaunch. If it is real windy, you are best to wait a until the kite has tracked to the edge before relaunching fully for a less of a pull when it launches..
To help it on its back you can try pushing the bar backwards (like yawning but direct your arms upwind ) and then quickly move the kite forward, my old 4 line C kite, relaunched way easier with the 5th line mod.
How do the Delta shaped kites relaunch? easy?
Pull the 5th line until kite sits at 45,don't let it go all the way on its back then relaunch by pulling the steering line of your choice as you would with any other kite.
Weird at first but really not very hard
hey Liam
send me a pm I'll teach you how to do it, theres a bit of tecknique but its easier to watch someone then do it for a quick relaunch...
cheers
