UPDATE 1-20-19... We made the drive to Treasure Island early this morning. Met up with Team Kite Life and got to pick their brains for quite a while. Everyone I talked to there was very friendly and willing to answer any and all questions from flying techniques to business to flying with intent!! 100 percent worth the trip and watching them fly is a real treat!!

So sorry to hear that happened. And I don't want to hit the like button...

Just got confirmation that I have a space at the Maryland Kite Society’s Kitebuilders’ Retreat. Any one from here going, too? It’s always better to have some familiar faces at these things. Especially when it’s your first time.

OK, I gave the situation time to rest and decided by backing off some of the techniques I usually use near the leading edge (Double Fold, lashing down the uprights tighter.) and leaving out the camber, I could make this sail fairly close to my original intent. The verts are a little tight (which means I'll trim the final frame 1/4" to make this work. It's not perfect but one I'll gladly fly when conditions warrant.. Normal bridles will work just fine and I have those already tied and ready to install. Flying video soon I hope.

I'll shout, I told you so.. Glad you made it.

Or lengthen the top leaders by untying a couple knots nearest the handles. Experienced flyers never use those two unless needed for a different style of quad.
