I just got the HQ Mojo stunt kite. Tried flying it today in about 5mph winds. I couldn't get the hang of it or didn't have it set up right. Any
tips on set up and flying. I assumed the handling would be the same as a four line power kite. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Judging from the videos on-line, it looks like the same type of control as a Rev. Gotta keep all 4 lines tensioned - but there are other voices here
that are far more qualified than me to advise.
Enjoy the new ripstop!

Nice! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chmqRZ__t7Y
Nope, handling is NOTHING like a 4-line kite 
you gotta balance it between the
front and rear lines. Fly with your wrists, not your arms... in the beginning.

It is not going to be like a power kite, it will be like a revolution kite.
Rev's turn 100% with BRAKE input. Pulling an entire side will only make the kite SLIDE that direction if your in a balanced hover.
Soo much to cover, I am new to Rev's myself....
my 1st tip would be to equalise the lines. Make sure (even if new) that the top lines are the same length and the bottom lines are the same length.
all 4 do not have to be identical, but tops must match and bottoms must match.
Set-up the handles and stake them up at the top lines. So the brakes are out as if full power on a quad power kite. Run your lines out, set-up the
kite. Connect the lines to the kite and stand the kite up with the leading edge DOWN.
This is the prefered launch/landing set-up by Rev teams. Setting the handles full forward and kite facing down makes it fly into the ground and is
most secure if a gust comes thru.
Set this way you can get on the handles and start giving it a touch of brake on one side, get a feel for how the kite reacts. When you get a feel for
it, give it more brake on one side and roll it over, then give full brake, just to make sure she stays down...
At this point you are ready for launch. depoending on wind and kite set-up the kite may launch just by releasing brake, or it may want a quick pump
to get moving..
As mentioned Youtube Revolution kites, especially ones by John Baressi / Kitelife. They are for a rev, but the kite type and basic controll is the
same..
Welcome to the "other" dark side...

Thanks a lot for the quick response. Very good info from all. A few things I did have completely backwards(wrong). Next trip out in the next few
days should be different. Any more tips will be much appreciated.

Yup, no pulling left and right, its all in the wrists!!!
