Swing by Fly 4 Fun

Transcript

  1. The swing is basically a 180-degree downward wingtip rotation, stopping the Revolution on the horizontal line. From horizontal, brake slightly with the left handle while pulling the right arm and pushing the left arm. When the kite is nearly vertical, increase the brakes; then push the right arm and pull the left arm, stopping the kite on the horizontal line. Then pull the left arm and push the right arm while accelerating slightly with the right handle; once the kite has passed the vertical, pull the right arm and push the left arm, stopping the kite on the horizontal line. Try it from left to right and vice versa.
