Mate be serious.
Its a very serious question and he might go out and hurt himself.

Buy a rifle and shoot the leading edge

You can self land a REV (I guess the Rev2 is the same) by flying the kite to the edge of the window, then grab the front lines above the bar, this causes the kite to stall/hindenberg on it's leading edge... then pull on the appropriate back line to whip the kite into the wind....

Job Done...

There's a video of it.... can't find it right now ....

Here's a thread about this topic...

Enjoy!

the front line techique does the trick, the rev2 lands the same as a rev1. Just send it to the side of the window and pull the top front line when the leading edge is falling towards the ground.

who said put a 5th on it.
5th lines are the way of the past, go the 4 lines

Sometimes in strong winds the kite flips over but does not stay put on the ground. It flips onto its back and starts heading downwind. Keep pulling in the front line and walk towards the kite. The kite will will stay on its back on the ground down wind of you and not pull with any force. It works exactly the way a 5th line does.

Make sure you have your kite leash attached to your safety.

Make sure you have plenty clear space down wind of you (which you should be doing anyway)
