Hey
I don't remember the huge debate, but that's close to how all my LEIs relaunch. At least the bow and SLE ones.
Might be a little easier but any I've used in the top 2/3 of their wind range will relaunch pretty close to that.
No auto-zenith on any though.

I'm certainly no authority on any of nicer rigs like that. But he or she made that look about as easy as pie.Drewculous - 22-2-2010 at 03:43 PM

Cool feature but bows are so easy to relaunch anyways and if you were flying on land it might mess up the LE over time when it tried to slide to the
edge everytime.macboy - 22-2-2010 at 10:26 PM
Yup. I was on a Best Guroo in PEI and that's exactly what it did as well. I was impressed.arkay - 22-2-2010 at 10:56 PM
My flexi's move and sit on the edge unless they are straight nose down
on flat water , but a quick swim upwind and a little tug usually flips them pretty quick.Kamikuza - 23-2-2010 at 12:31 AM
He/she still had to provide bar input to get it back in the air :puzzled: I don't call that "auto" relaunch ...! Very easy relaunch, yes ... auto
setup to relaunch, yes ...
Most of the SLE/bow kites do the floating out to the edge of the wind window, don't they? I thought that was the whole reason for going to the bow
shape ...?
They put any more bridle lines on those SLE's, they may as well just make it closed cell oh wait what? Flysurfer already did that?
