Bag done. Might need to shorten the center bridle connection. Leading edge ended up a little short. Seemed to fly fine, but you probably could have flown a sheet of plywood on Saturday. Ready for the next project. Either Sul 1.5 or revII/ B2 sized.

Edge Binding is done. LE is attached.. Only Framing and Bridling remain..

Thank You... Me Too I should know on Saturday.. Current Forecast, Sat DEC 22 Mostly Sunny H52° L35° 0% Precip W 15 mph 61% Humidity Sun and a few passing clouds. High 52F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph. Almost ideal conditions for this kite and Winter Jacket.

I love the look of this one. I hope it flys well. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app

Framing complete.. Just need to pick up my bridle jig from storage to tie a bridle and I'm done. Will flight test before Christmas.

1) Where should I mount it? 140 grams will certainly affect the flight, but assuming you get a balance-neutral placement it should still fly in good winds. That position can be at the center of mass on the kite, or it can be on the tow point. Kites can carry relatively heavy loads, including cameras. Assuming wind is strong enough the critical factor is not the weight, but how that weight is distributed to keep the kite balanced. As long as it remains balanced, it shouldn't harm flight too badly. 2) Should I adjust the tow point? You can move the tow point toward the nose if you want. It changes the pitch, the angle that the kite flies at. Closer to the nose usually makes it move forward more forcefully, up to a point. You can choose which point to use when you are out in the field. 2.2) Should I change it in higher winds at an altitude? I'd choose based on trial and error. Try it with the lower setting first, point B. If there is not enough lift, try the upper setting, point A. If it is strong or uncontrollable, bring it back down and make adjustments.

Reason I asked is because the picture looks like it has frame and bridle. I won a bid on ebay last year for a sail only rev kite. It had no bridle and frame. @Boostt since these are your only posts on this forum, do you have references or are you a long time member of any other forum like gwtwforum.com?

The black line attached to the kite in the photo is the bridle. No intent at smart-ass remarks, just want to make sure you guys are talking about the same thing so there's no misunderstanding. Also it should be mentioned whether the kite comes with the storage sleeve.
