Peter Lynn Arc - Selflaunch from “Taco” position and using an Anchor

if you have moderate winds and a good anchor, you can hook your chickenloop to the anchor, put the kite into taco position and launch the kite by lifting one edge up. then the kite will go into autozenit and slowly rise to the top.

the video is not perfect, though, because you should better stand behind the kite (near the trailing edge) because otherwise you could get caught by the lines in stronger winds.
and - make sure your arc kite is prefilled to the maximum using a akku-pump or a method i show in the next video. otherwise it wont autozenit.

the kite in this video is a Peter Lyn Scorpion in s13sqm , flown on a naish helix bar. Windspeed was very gusty and quite low - around 8-12 knots. thats the reason the kite did not completely go to the zenit.
try this in clean coastal winds and it will work perfectly.

important: dont do that in too strong winds, as it could tear out your anchor. best is you have two anchors, to the first you attach the chickenloop; to the second anchor you put the safety leach. in case your kite pulls the first anchor out of the ground, your kite then will flag out on the safety.
