I have a bouble bridle two string stunt kite and i can't get it up. I can't launch it by myself, I have only been able to do it once. Where I live there isn't exetrem wind but adequate. Are there any tricks or techniques anyone can suggest. Thanks in advance.

I found that if you lay the kite upside down, run down to your spools and pull the kite toward you, it will stand up on its wing tips. now all you have to do is give a tug upwards and back and its off. this is for a delta shaped kite. for a diamond shape kite, you have to start it on its side. for instance, if it is on its left side, you pull on both spools but a little harder on the right spool to correct the direction it is initially facing. if this is confusing, Most kite books have pretty good explanations of you can email me to clear something up. good luck!
