(for your information D=Z, some paragliders says "D") Aerodynamic has only one truth.. but many advices can bring to the same result. Whatever the kite/paraglider, and whatever the place of the camber, a cambered profil is powerfull and unstable. You'll have nuances, but the better is a progressive ...
For me it's the same of the arrival of the onepump on the market... nowadays, no one wants 1min more to inflate its kite by doing it strut after strut. The basis is alloy, like my mast base, so no corrosion. My foil is already heavy. But I understand the extra weight could disturb some riders. For m...
To reach a powerfull profile, you can lenghten C+B, you can also shorten A+Z... and you can fine tune by changing just one of them. Most of brands have choosen to just allow B and C ajustable, to avoid a back line/front line change on your bar settings. And flysurfer have also chose to connect the C...
Hello, this common behaviour is due to not enough deep on the airfoil, you can lenghten C adjuster (this will also lenghten a little B), it's the easiest and surely your solution
ok, that's what I had in memories... and what differences did you noticed before these "bridges" and after please ? On my carbon tube kite, I had to choose a less deep profile to avoid deformations in high winds... and the kite was very fast with thinner profile, probably what you've experimented on...
I remember about a prototype annouced by best with lots of stiffness, and few bridles... maybe nherbold told about this one.. Someone else remeber this announcement ? it was in 2006-2007 I think
