Hello ProgCraft, I finally decided to make a Gual !!!
I already have build a Vortex 5m and a Dominator 4m, and "needed" another just in between
So I took the Gual 5m plan and rescaled it to 4.4m...
The kite was relatively easy to built in 3 weekends, and really flies like a dream.
I wanted a stable kite, because here in Quebec winds are often gusty.
It is as fast as my Vortex 5m, and as stable as my Dominator 4m ! ! !
The pull is strong, even and predictable. I love it...
The upwind performance seems on par with the Vortex. Which is very good.
No adjustments were necessesary what so ever !!! It flew well the first time
Here are some photos of it in my dining room. Sorry, no flying photos yet. Soon !
Keep up sewing !
