  4. The wider spars also impede performance, imho, the 1/4” rods handle better overall.
  5. Yup, this is one of those things - I never go there unless I am 110%, and I’ve developed a number of formulas for gauging depth, emergency exit maneuvers, predictive behavior etc. 👍🏻
  6. 120 tickets sold, drawing VERY soon. Bear with the drawing timing as we’re in Japan until 5/23 but we’ll be sure the cut off for entry is correct, and no more than 48 hours delay to draw. 🙏🏻 Thanks everyone!!
  7. It’s gotta be right, you know - although, clinic attendees like yourself have a better chance of seeing it prior to release. 👍🏻

  24. The reason the under turns work better at the edge is that a down turn sends the heaviest part of the kite downward instead of trying to lift it over the top... Think of an airplane in a stall, they want to dip the nose and use gravity to their advantage.
