Drill a pair of holes between the hand-holds. To one, attach a little carabiner so you can lock the kite line: when it's flying, pass the line through this crab to stop any more line paying out.
To the other, attach a loop and a big climbing carabiner. This will let you clip the whole thing to a belt or harness leaving your hands free to work the radio controls. CAUTION! If you've got a strong kite, you're light, or it's gusty, TAKE CARE because lifting kites can be brutes and being thrown around by one is a painful and expensive affair.
