Pull back your thumbs and bring your forearms toward your shoulders, and the Revolution takes off. At about a quarter of the wind window, gently move both thumbs slightly forward: the Revolution slows down, stops and starts flying backward, landing in the horizontal position, leading edge up. When the kite starts flying backward, it may tilt; to keep the leading edge parallel to the ground, brake the upper wing's control line.
