thought I would share this with you all,
11m depower on 20m lines with an AR of 8.0

Time for me to hit the lottery! That could definitely get me to the next level I'm looking for!

AR 8.0.Woof! How is it a launch?

PHREERIDER - 14-12-2015 at 05:15 PM

wow , impressive

I don't know if you're too high for wanting a kite with that AR or the AR is too high for my cajones.

That's banana's. :P Who is it made by ?

Hey, please help a brotha out! Would this high an AR make a kite like this super lifty, sort of the ultimate boosting kite? I assume it would sort of scream through the sky, but honestly I'd love an explanation as to how a kite shaped like this (so extremely long and thin) would fly/behave compared to, say, a PL Hornet just to choose an extremely different example.

Thanks in advance; I've never flown a kite shaped remotely like this.

This is designed for power and speed. It would make a choice snow kite. Which is what it is. As for lift and jumping, I wouldn't.
I have some other info and pics that I will post soon.

here is another pic, look for the yellow kite on the far right....


Feyd - 15-12-2015 at 11:07 AM

Hahahah good lord. It makes the Chrono 1 look chunky.:D Is this the Peter Lynn Aero proto or something else?

Right here is a good cross sampling of a variety of kites and their various ARs. If this is a race I feel for the poor bastards on the Arcs. :P

It is the new depower snow kite from PKD.
I may have to make room for a new depower quiver in my trailer, hmmmmm what don't I want that I can get rid of to make room?

WELDNGOD - 15-12-2015 at 02:03 PM

Looks like a DP Combat... Nice:thumbup:
