-Make sure the larks head knots are pushed all the way against the ball knots.

Before you pick your kite up to go launch, double check to,
-Make sure your safety releases work properly.
-Make sure your kite lines are not twisted.

Before your launch buddy lets go of the kite,
-Make sure you look at every line from the bar to the kite.
-Make sure the kite lines are not wrapped around the ends of the bar.
-Make sure the kite lines are not wrapped around the wind tips of the kite.
