Good idea but 90% someone is going to put the catcher in the trash while you're kiting! )))

so disappointed with this post... I thought for sure it was a parody of the kite launcher videos....

My feeling is that all of this setup, time and risk is unnecessary. In lighter wind I back down the kite, in medium wind I back it down from low on tip position, in high winds I release to leash. In high winds this might mean 5 min cleaning up bridles before folding.
Granted, I have clean open launches and have Hyperlinks with minimal bridels.
Overall, I find Hyperlink much more convenient than Lei kites because I kite alone 80% of the time.
