  1. Forgive me for asking a bunch of stupid questions but...

    Would changing to a stiffer frame not be a simpler method of getting a stiffer frame since both methods add weight?

    Would adding weight to the endcaps not be a simpler method of changing weight distribution?

    Could one not just use the handles to control the angle of the kite in an inverted glide?

    As for standing the kite up, personally I prefer to have it flat and unaffected by the wind or staked down inverted .... but thats just me.

    I'm sure I'm in for a solid roasting by the fans, but unless one wants to stiffen the frame, change he balance and not use the handles when inverted all in a single mod .... I'm a little unsure how needed this kind of arrangement is.

    That said, even if it does nothing more than make you fly better just because you believe it will, I guess that is a worthwhile effort. :)

    it makes reversing easier ? never felt the need myself matrix.gif

  2. Hmm!? Oh well, I had the light wind moment at Victoria Park today when it became evident that the kite had been in air moving in one direction but was abruptly in air moving in the opposite direction. Admittedly the wind speeds concerned were not very high but it was disconcerting to see the curvature of the lines reversing.

  3. An updated ZigZag is now available at: http://gyraphicdesign.com/Super16

    The motion is at 24 FPS(Frames Per Second).

    A feature for step to next and also step to previous frame has been added.

    The attached file has all the rotations listed for the particular ZigZag mentioned above. This might be useful in developing the calls. I used it to insure that there is never more the a 360 degree twist in individual line sets.

    This ZigZag has four mini pinwheels incorporated with in it to show one of the many possibilities of the ZigZag start.

    my take on the calls would be something like ....from the zig zag ..morf to 4 person balls ..right tips in rotate 1 place clock ..to left tip back to where you started back to ball ..back to zig zag 180 to opp zig zag and back to start kid_devlish.gif
