what do you think about this idea:
instead of stacking on top of each other, why not connecting two identical arcs at the tips, forming one long thing huge high AR arc ?
imagine two 12 sqm synergies. connect the right tip of the one synergy with the left tip of the other. then attach your lines to the outer tips.
maybe you can left away one or both spars in the middle where both arcs connect, so the thing gets lighter.
anyone tried that ?

I like ... I think the older 'square' arcs would work better - Scorpion or Venom maybe?
Holy #@%$#! imagine 2x 18m Phantoms!!! Bowtie, anyone

There was a video out there. I think they tried it with 3 different sized arcs. It was cool (because they managed to get it off the ground) but didn't
work out too well. I can't find the vid anymore.

i bet it would work

Yes but how well would it work is the question I think ...

Yuck, talk about a large turning radius. And you would have a section in the middle of the kite that has a thinner profile than the shoulders. And
with the added aspect ratio, increased chance of a bow tie.

This has been done already, I remember seeing a picture one time of three Guerilla's all daisy chained together to make a whopping long 30+ meter
kite but can't locate the picture anywhere...it was quite a few years ago.
the biggest problem with it is that you couldn't turn it properly. The end kites would start to turn but you had no control over the middle or
opposite end kite. It was suggested that maybe a 20 ft. control bar may work....but the idea was pretty much scrapped. The kites did fly just fine
though and were super stable. It would make an awesome ground display.
