Automatic Quick Release
Jeff Earl aka Bigkidkites inspired me to make my own auto QR, Jeff had had a very serious accident caused by having a OBE (outer buggy experience) a couple of years ago, because of that accident, he came up with a very simple way to stop any future OBE’s from happening. It is such a simple idea I just had to have one myself, and if anything try to make Jeff’s idea even simpler, anyone can make this simple auto QR.
All you need is….
- A kite killer
- A Stainless Keyring Clasp
