I have updated the Inverse page with the two methods I managed to fly today and included Audiorob tutorial

"inputs"?, "clarity"?, "understanding" ? ! ? ... On a good day it's telekinetic. On a bad day there isn't enough grey matter on the planet to control the obstinate piece of malware attached by its parasitic tendrils to my wrist.
I admire and appreciate you guys verbalising what would otherwise remain a black art to many of us.
love'n'joy

Is there a kite flying Deity of the Day?

To clarify then - 'Pull a bit' the top wing and release everything - don't 'Pop' anything. What happens then, is the wing you're going to rotate on is slightly nearer to you...

Obi, I'm glad you clarified that, I was getting my head in a knot trying to work out how you could pop the top to get into a turtle.

Ermmm, Inverse is Top wing, same wing rotation, Rolling Susan is Bottom wing, same wing rotation...

But you are referring to the rotational input, rather than the set up into a turtle. The entry from horizontal flight into the 'snap turtle' is what was written incorrectly.

I'd love to see someone pop the top wing, while slacking the bottom, and get into a turtle. Now, maybe you can pop the top and give slack to the top, and it will fall in...but not if you give slack to the bottom wing first. Then you'll get a flare, like in a half axel.

Next time I get chance I will try both methods as I tend to sharply pop top wing and give immediate slack so the kite almost bounces off the top wing into the turtle, but Randy G and Audiorob both pop bottom wing first. If both ways work I will right it up as an alternative method.

Ah well, each unto their own I guess.
