Corey Bell Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Is the center star a mesh also? very cool... Equal to a mid vent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
