Innovation???


Hey guys, this may change the world of kiting. Imagine going to your favorite kiting location with one kite. Your having a good time when the wind begins to drop and your feeling underpowered. No problem. Simply land your kite and change something. 2-3 minutes later you relaunch your kite and and you are fully powered and having a great time again. What if you could do all of this and not change the flight characteristics, like aspect ratio and shape.

Is it a good idea? It is not patented, but if my prototype kite works I probably will patent it.

You can U2U me for more details as I don't feel comfortable reveiling how it works on an open fourm. Also, I will probably be sending the prototype kite around to various members for testing so you could sign up to test the kie too.

Sounds too good to be true to me ?

Viokite had kites that would zip up so you could have 2 sizes. Mine only worked proper in full form. Zipping it up reduced power and performance. It would get you home but wasn't a lot of fun to fly zipped up.

Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.

I talked to someone at the patent office a while back and she told me not to write about it online otherwise you may not get a patent for it since there was already an idea for it written online

I am just saying be careful if you do plan to get a patent for it.

I would like to test it
