Lightening the SLE 1.5

[sandman]

Yeah... the trailing wing drags a bit. I'm still working on a good horizontal slide with the 1.5. Oddly enough, the Blast is what gave me some clues about flying that maneuver. The Blast responds so well, that I can make the trailing wing rise or fall at will. Still working on the technique with the 1.5. It's more sluggish in this regard than the Blast, I think.

Cool, well you're thinking it out very well... Keep at it.

Waaaaaay back when the Supersonic (the first of the SLE kites) came out, learning to fly that was what really finally made reverse flight "click" for me mentally, it was easier to do on that line of kite. Those skills transferred over nicely when I was flying a 1.5 and I found reverse much easier after that.

so, ya, you're on the right road.

Yes, The Kite Shoppe will help you find what your looking for and do a great job explaining our kite jargon.
