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.

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
