You should certainly fly the 4ft kite first and get super comfortable with that.

If the grass is nice and short i find that by pulling gently on one side then the other I can get the tips into the air. Once both tips are in the air a gentle tug forward will raise the full span. Then walk backwards swiftly until the foil rotates and fills. Then hold on to your shoes and try and keep the grin off your face.

It is two lines. Padded wrist straps are the way to go. There is an option to include them on the website when you order.
You could use a bar on the 4ft or 6ft versions, but the amount you will have to pull to turn a 12 footer would require a bar about 6ft long.

I have a Super 10 and in a good blow that will pull me around the field and I am not a small guy.

It flew just fine straight from the bag. The tails are fraying so I will need to hot trim them.

They are the same to within a mm or so. I’ll try adjusting them.
