A while ago I asked for some help with how to self rescue with Recon 2

I have since had some time to practice as we had quite a lot of boat pickups in Fiji. One this I noticed it that after letting the safety go there was still a lot of power in the kite pulling me down wind and making it hard to pull the one line in. However on some occasions the kite would completly depower and roll over and sit there like in the instruction video.

Is there something extra that I need to get this to happen all the time, is it that my bullets are getting stuck??

Thanks

or you could have snapped carbon rods.

you would know if the batten is broken. It is the rod that the recon line runs through at th ends of the kite.

I have had similar problems, I don't thik it is as good a system as a 5th line. On a windy day it can still have a lot of pull even with the trailing edge bunched up.

I'm pretty happy with he recon2 system, apart from this issue, I don't think there is a problem with the rods but I will double check them before I go out next time.
I only bought my quiver last season and can't afford to change just yet even if I wanted to!
