how to maximally prefill your arc kite without an akku pump using an anchor
warning: the method shown ONLY works in mild to moderate winds ! doing this in strong winds might be dangerous to your hands and might also tear out the anchor and hurt other people !
release one VPC bridle of your parked PL Arc Kite from the anchor, and hold it wide into the air using both hands on the bridle. that way you can adjust the angle of attack (AoA). in the beginning, if the kite is half empty, choose a lower AoA, and make short periods of higher AoA. this will turn the air inlet valves more into the wind. give it some seconds, and the kite will be completely filled through the inlet valves.
now you can make a save taco launch that will work perfectly, as the kite is completely filled and will automatically rise to the zenit (see video “taco launch from anchor”)
Kite: PL Scorpion 13 sqm
