Rumor has it that there is also a Spanish translation in the works. :w00t:

Just got the latest version. Great job Mike. Great. Thank you for your hard work.

To those of you who are nervous about flying together, you will get over it. Quickly. Once you start flying with someone else, flying alone is not nearly as much fun.

Everything that Americans invent or do, it will quickly be duplicated by others from very many different countries.
I guess that's part of life. isn't it?

thanks for the props Jim and Hector, but of course I have to share a lot of it with iQuad.

The Spanish version just arrived in my inbox. I'll have to copy over the translated text into a pdf.
It should be available soon.

Just to inform those who may not have noticed, there is one error and one update that I have already notified Mike of and he has said will be in the new version. =)

For the 6-kite Compound Benefits, at Step #6 where they do the 180deg turns, it shows Kite #2 and #5 turning 180deg upwards.
-According to Mike's theory in the last few pages on calculations on which way to turn during the 180deg turns, kite #2 and #5 be turning downwards instead. In the Team Animations on the Revkites website they turn downwards as well.


For the Blender, he states that in a 6-kite formation, Kite #3 and #4 should not swap. However, in the Revkites Team Animations Blender-6, the middle 2 kites #3 and #4 swap as well, just that they turn 180deg up instead of down.
-Mike has said that in the old days, the middle kites do not swap, but nowadays most people do. So feel free to swap!

Hope this helps! =)

Thanks Stuart, the manual has fallen heavily into disuse... I hope to do some video instructions at some point, as time allows. :sign_kitelife:
