Lisa Bernard / Kiteworld Posted October 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I know I've asked this before, but sadly have had no advice. I need to iron out the wrinkles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photomom Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I have two peter powell stunt diamonds but I have never stacked them so I'm afraid I'm no help. As for the flexies, I have a source I can ask but it will be next week as we are right in the middle of our local kite festival and everyone is crazy busy at the moment.

makatakam Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Two-thirds to three-quarters of the longest dimension of the kite for the length of the stack lines as a starting point. Wobble is reduced by retarding the speed of the back kite in the stack, which simply means making the bottom stack line(s) just a touch shorter. How much depends on the kite. Start with about a 1/4" (5%) on smaller kites and increase if necessary after testing. If you Google "peter powell stack" you'll see some good images that show attachment points and lengths. Short stacks require less precision than long ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
