First post. Hi, & thanks for this forum - as a newbie its been great for seeing what's possible, and for getting an idea of how to go about improving.
Have been making reasonable progress (from rubbish to just a bit less rubbish) over these past few months but am really stuck on this pancake to fade thing.
The kite does its pancake malarkey no bother, but then pulling the lines just accelerates the kite groundwards in a nose dive. Spent 2 hours trying it at the beach today with some old dear looking on with a bemused face, clearly not impressed with the variety in my flying.
Looks annoyingly easy in the videos... any hints? The tutorials all say 'just' pull evenly with both lines. Tried that. Doesn't work.
