:lol: no ... the picture was posted by mx5alan of Arc Calculator fame - it might be him ...

Apparently, it's 49m2 of kite :o

48m. 19 + 16 + 13 = 48. No way to get 49. I'm very impressed, it looks beautiful :)

That's awesome and nuts! (or kiwi's) :lol: Must have been one low wind day!

I heard that it may be better to put the smallest kite on top, so the flying speed are more equal. Does someone tested that ?

Never tried that, I never saw the need (didn't make any sense to me either). I have stacked my SARC's 1120 and 630 then tried stacking my G2's 15 and 11. If you get the stack line length dialed for the kite sizes used and the rear pigtail lengths to each kite tuned for the stack they fly amazingly in sync (like one kite, even when turning them) in steady winds. Looks really cool when you get it right.

Not quite got it right but ... over-the-top win!

This looked like it worked better ... hey maybe stacking Chargers is a way to slow them down :lol:

Who would want to slow down a Charger?! :P

Not I! That's where all the fun comes from! Zoom zoomzzzzz!

errr....if you look at the bottom two I'd assume they are the same size. So my guess is 19(top kite)+15(middle)+15(middle)=49m of kite. With a 5m leader between kites is my guessing. I think I read somewhere that 5m is a good starting point when stacking arcs. Either way it just looks cool.:thumbup:

They're Venom IIs bud :) there is no 15m. :lol: Probably a very stable stack.
