How to stabilize a "FlowForm" single line kite ?

[Jeepster]

Two more ideas then:

1) Ben Huggett has had good results with increasing the trailing edge venting in foil kites. I wasn't able to duplicate his results ... go figure. Harald Prinzler increased the top end of the wind range on his flow form (FF04a) by venting the top and bottom surfaces. Although the video shows instability of your foil with light winds , you might keep increased venting in mind as a variable to investigate.

2) Skip over to KiteBuilder.com and post your problems there. There's a larger group of folks there who build and fly their own creations. Your post will spark lots of discussion.

Cheers,

Tom

Thanks a lot for your suggestions Tom,

But you know I'll do my own tests and experiments after studying some theorical stuff, then I'll post my results as soon as I'll find my Graal !
