Wayne Dowler Posted May 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Update: Saw some pix taken of it in a European comp, that show the stick arrangement clearer. Looks to be a standard setup of lines and sticks with one exception - an extra line going to the center. Don't know how that affects flight, just another line to me! I've read Paul L.'s posts and seen some that have used one line or the other, never both together. Also saw the "batten" a bit more clearly - looks to go through a pocket in the LE, bent into shape and inserted into pockets in the TE. So you really end up with 3 vertical members on each side. Again, unsure how this affects flight, but it looks to be an interesting way of attacking things! If any of you are on FB and would like to see?? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206579375747191&set=a.1976871945545.116833.1355512583&type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Dowler Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I think they are trying to put this into some sort of production, whether hand made or factory style. For those on FB (and maybe for more), here's a link to their site: http://www.andykites.com/catalogo/aquiloni/4-cavi/#cc-m-product-5960662664 Should be an English translation mixed in with the Italian.

Wayne Dowler Posted May 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 Expand this rear view and you can see their stick arrangement clearer. Still not sure if the batten is one piece or multiple pieces. But at least the sticks are pretty plainly seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
