Hi, Anybody have any idea what this two line soft kite I saw was?... It was smallish, ... around 4 foot span I'd guess. It was shaped roughly like this:--- +----------------+ <--- leading edge | | | | \ / \______________/ i.e. not rectangular and was completely soft, bridled flat to the wind (i.e. not curved like a peel or similar.) It flew quite fast and seemed very manouevrable, faster than my four-stack of flexis in the same wind (although I reckon a single flexi would've been about the same speed in those conditions... there was not very much wind). It may have had some *very small* keels where the lines were attached to the skin although I might not be remembering tis correctly. Any ideas? Cheers, Mark. [yeah I know ... I should've asked the people flying it... If I see them again I will... ] -- oakden@dice2.desy.de oakden@hep.ph.liv.ac.uk | When I bend low I'm not politically incorrect, | enough, purseweed I'm just differently articulate. | beneath my fence. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
