Corey Bell Posted April 4, 2019 Report Posted April 4, 2019 Is the center star a mesh also? very cool... Equal to a mid vent? 1 Quote

Alas, no, the center star is just white icarex. I haven't done the math especially since this is B2 sized. I'm honestly thinking closer to a full vent though.. 2 Quote
riffclown Posted April 12, 2019 Author Report Posted April 12, 2019 Finally enough breeze for a proper bridle test. Winds 5-8 gusting to 12 or so.. 2 Quote
riffclown Posted April 13, 2019 Author Report Posted April 13, 2019 Definitely one I'll keep in the bag for those higher wind days.. 1 Quote

riffclown Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Posted April 16, 2019 Finally got a chance to fly it a bit on short lines. Used my travel frame. Winds near Boston today were 18-25 and whipping pretty soundly.. Kite was great. It ate the gusts like they weren't even there. Nice balanced pressure across the entire sail area. Kite responded like a whip when the proper inputs were given. reaction time on short lines was crazy 5 Quote
riffclown Posted April 28, 2019 Author Report Posted April 28, 2019 on 90 foot lines.. winds 10-15.. Love the balance of this kite. 4 Quote
