Hi micha,

There is a lot of people in the net who will be able to give you some infos. Here's mine.
I am just back from a easter break in France, where I had a great time kite flying on the Normandy beaches with Deltas and stack of speedfoils (similar type than the flexis)

I never had any problems stacking them, I use (after Andrew's advices on the net) a different set of lines for the stacking and I connect the end of these lines to my spectra lines. The reason is that the line get seriously worn by the rings of the kites.
The distance between each kite are 1.10 meter, I don't know if it is the best distance but works fine for me.
Just make sure that your kites are parallel to each other. That's it!

By rereading your mail it sounds like the distance between your two kites is much too short, your first kite is taking the wind of the second one.

Have a good fun ;-)
