How to adjust the kite for minimum front stall in low winds, for Trix and Sonic:

When you push on your bar, totally taking of the tension from the back lines you can get the kite to front stall as you are super depowered, and if there a lite wind.  In lite winds, one thing you can do is to move the front bridle back to f3, f5, (you could experiment f4 f5) also use the stopper ball to prevent the kite from depowering to much when you let go the bar, for sure you need to keep the kite moving in very low winds, the GK profiles are not super thick , a thicker profile would give more stability but not as good speed and  upwind performance in medium winds, try this out and give us some feedback by adding a review to the product you have.  : 7m Trix  9m Trix 12m Trix 15m Trix /  8m Sonic 11m Sonic 14m Sonic

Flying the kite, and building power.

To have the best performance you must always pull on your bare as little as possible,  you don't want get power by sheeting in, but by letting the kite accelerate, building flying speed will give you the power, as you will get more wind speed.

Connecting red safety line to the swivel ( standard ),  the kite will  land on the edge of the window, when you release the the QR, ready for relaunch.The loop on one front line can also be connected to the red safety line, totally killing the kite if you trigger the QR. You can also connect your leash to the front line directly so you can easily switch from one option to another.
