Stack Management and Transport

Here's the HQ Bolero 9 Stack Bag that I made from the bags the kites came in. There's also a Youtube video of the setup as I would unpack in the field..

Nice idea... Especially because you had 9 spare bags laying around!

Looks very impressive. Since I have never seen a stack in real life, can you do any tricks with it?

With that stack just landing is a trick.

With a stack this size, a few things become important. It doesn't like to hover. You kind of have to keep it going forward otherwise the stacks starts to waver a bit. You also have to plan ahead.. Try to turn too quickly and the length of the stack ripples down and you might just go tumbling. Like the childhood game of crack the whip. I love flying this stack as it was actually a childhood dream to fly a stack of kites. 

I've yet to remember to record it while Chris Shultz of HQ Kites is flying it. I always catch myself standing there in awe as he flies. . It truly comes alive in his hands. I've never seen his equal with a stack..

Much smaller stack and kites but

here is my rev stack bag

My Rev and Freilein stacks are only 3 kites so i tend to roll those up leaving the stack lines in place. That may change as I add additional kites..

Looks very impressive. Thanks for the explanations and videos [emoji106]

@Chris Shultz is a straight kite pimp, one of the true "warrior class" kite fliers IMHO - he's got about 30 years of experience, 27 or so on those same kites.
