Very interesting.

The whole design looks so clean, light and basic.

It will be interesting to get feed back on the " low wind " claims. They seem valid. At least comapring to conventional LEI.

If this kite acts like I think, it should make an excellent snow kite.

Float ??? It will be effected for sure . I wonder how ?
