Its hard to do a Fade on the Cosmic, a Flic/Flac is even harder.
The kite design-carateristics is so special that you have to do inputs on an other time-moment, than on an (regular) trick kite.
Its what ObijuanKenobi say´s: Do a Flare and cut it at the right time.
For a Fade:
Fly from top down wards en put your Cosmic in a Flare.
.critical moment.: Before the kite go´s totaly horizontal, the nose from you away, you have to pop the Cosmic in to the Fade.
You gives the pop to make the fade, just on the time when you see the nose is going away from you in a horizontal line, (This moment is very critical)
You make the pop to get your Cosmic into the Fade, same as on any other kite.
If you are to late, the nose is to far from you in a horizontale line, and than you give the pop, the kite turns and is going into a Back Flip.
To make a fade: put the Cosmic in Flare, just on time ( you see the nose turn down wards, don´t let it go horizontal away from you) give the pop input to get the Cosmic into the Fade.
For the Flic/Flac: get the Cosmic into the Fade, than pop it out into a Flare, than pop into a Fade. (beware of the critical moments).
Its hard to do it, but its possible.
The Cosmic is a faboulus kite with special flight caracteristics.
You have to do some other flighttechnics than usual, you always wil lurn on the Cosmic.
Everybody: have a good airtime.
