Put the kite on its back, nose towards you and lines over the leading edge. Pull gently on the lines and rock the kite forward onto its nose but not far enough to stand up. Then release the lines quickly, the kite falls back and floats up and away, still on its back (but leaning *slightly* backward so the nose is high) and nose towards you. Walk quickly backward to keep the kite flat. It will keep going up as well. When it is far enough up, snap the lines and the kite is back into flight, heading down (gulp !). A quick 180 degree spin and away you go! Tip: start the launch at the center of the window, wind velocity plus 10 mph bring the kite up perpendicular to the ground...nose down and tips parallel to the ground push both hands evenly and firmly to initiate the momentum necessary to rock the kite back, let the wind do the work....leave a little slack in the lines. Once the kite is 5-10 feet off the ground, tug on either line. Don't use a wind tamer; opt for heavier lines
