Hey kitemaker4, It's always a pleasure looking at your work! I have a ton of questions, which might be better answered off the board, but I'm
curious, have you ever heard of or made the NPW-HA, a high aspect NPW developed by Jan Claes of Belgium? I believe it is based on the NPW9b platform,
but having a triple wide center panel, and cascade bridling. I found an excellent program online by Tom White, the NPW-HA Calculator. I have been
dreaming of building these kites, but haven't a whole lot sewing experience. Too much for a beginner project? I was thinking of warming up by sewing
covers for the pool noodles I use as padding on the buggy, I found some fabric in the same neon green!bobalooie57

Babalooooie....
Make yourself a couple flowforms or delta's or something to warm up with. Always nice to have a few single lines to throw up in the air to
compliment your power kites. If you can make a delta kite... you can sew a NPW. If you can make a flowform... you can make a foil. Or at least
that's my convuluted logic.
But if ya don't wanna make one, Susan really does do top notch work.
What do you do with your foils?

hi Susan,
I have a npw9 3.4 from hq ...I tried rebridling it to have a cascade bridal. Well it worked only to a degree. It flies, yes, but it acts like a
maniac in the air. it collapses and pops open on the ground has tremendous side pull and no lift..to the point where its dangerous...no idea how to
adjust the bridal...do you have measurements for this cascaded bridal....I remember when I first got the kite it was easy to fly but the single point
bridal was a pain so I switched it now its a lunatic...and have you figured out anything new to stop nose collapse

can you use that 32sqm monster also for some hang-gliding action? , lift/drag isnt that great, but in 32sqm size it should act mostly like a parachute
with some glide ?

I would not recomend any kite for hang-gliding unless it was built for that purpose.
