Ha, that's really funny Wobbly...
I've done the same thing, standing on one of my handles, or holding one in my teeth. <grin>

Looks like you've got your brake setting just perfect ... the handle balances about where your index finger would end up.
Cheers,
Tom
Ummmmm, dude,
If your index finger is that far down....
You might wanna try flying with a little more brake??
Sorry, my hiney is pretty smart....

His fulcrum by seeing his control hand, is his ring/pinky finger. Which is ALMOST normal.

You'll get used to the factual, retarded, sarcastic(at times) humor. Lighten up, I'm one of the SLOW ones of the Revolution family.

I don't think my Dentist would approve of me holding a Rev handle in my teeth, could foresee problem's if there was a sudden gust of wind. As for fulcrum point's on the handle's I find that changes depending on the wind condition's, I use what works for me on the day & depending how the kite is set up and what I'm trying to do, and a lot of people in the past have said I'm not NORMAL what ever that is, but all is ok in Wobbly's world

Wobbly makes this look so relaxed and easy
Cool.
so I tried to do this, it's not as easy as it looks, but then the wind was a bit light when I tried.
However I have witnessed a no hands controlled 'flying' kite, where both handles are on the ground, not even staked or held!

Thankyou Choccy, I have found the wind strength is not too much of an issue as long as the Rev is set up properly for the condition's but a nice smooth wind helps a lot, if the wind is a bit "bumpy" I use two groundstakes to peg the handle on the ground, when using one groundstake the length of the grass is a factor as it add's a resistance to the handle movement, have not been called cool for a while, fair made my day
