Editing Kite control systems (section)

=== Under non-static-line tow ===
[[Image:Windenstart apr1987.jpg|thumb|upright=1.2|Hang glider tow with stationary winch in 1987; pilot: Manfred Laudahn in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, Germany. The red item on the long kite line is a line parachute that will soften the fall of the released kite line. After release, the human will hang from a short hang line only to tug the kite hang glider wing; he then moves the [[triangle control frame]] to control the attitudes of the kite's wing. The fall of the pilot's mass provides the tension to fly the wing.]] The complex control system includes the operator of the winch. The length of line starts long and then gets shorter as the winch reels the tug line; this alters the control decisions by the kited hang glider pilot. Instruction for controls is available for new winch operators and hang glider pilots who want to be so kited. Distinguish this method from static-line (tug line stays same length during the tow). The control system for the shortening-the-tug-line method of kiting is different.
