Re: Global winds...getting less?
wtc7collapse-animated.gif Some particles, which could be thermite, were found in the dust. What do I see? Then there is the PCF paper. What do I see? Then there are these youtube vids. What do I see? MEME1.jpg wtc7ostrich.jpg Which leads directly to the magician's video I posted. al.gif

Re: Gong Hellvator - 1rst KBHF with both foils providng pos
Conclusions for me: 1) At lower speeds (almost?) all rear wings have to provide positive lift by their AoA, because the front wing alone does not provide enough lift to compensate the riders` weight for foiling. I don’t think that’s necessarily true, the front wing could provide the needed lift thr...

Re: Arrow and Manta kitefoil
I'd be interested in knowing where it ships from, for tax purposes. Indeed UAE or somewhere else? Thanks

Re: Dropping the hook & slider, BRM bar and Ride Engine mod.
Thanks for sharing Herbert. Nice job and creativity. 2nd that - very interesting that eliminating the moment from the spreader bar hook felt about the same as a sliding spreader bar - would like to know if others who try this also agree with this observation. Herbert, thanks for sharing. I second G...

Re: Gong Hellvator - 1rst KBHF with both foils providng pos
Nick, maybe you're confusing the center of lift of the main wing with the center of lift of the whole hydrofoil (neutral point)? If the stabilizer is providing positive (upward) lift, the CG has to be aft of the center of pressure of the main wing (let's call it CpW). Because, if the CG is forward o...

Re: Need help understanding Kiteloops
This part is intriguring "believe it or not, bringing the bar all the way in, and tuning it all way and holding it tight will generally result in a less powerful pull from the kite" As a loop beginner, trying to ease in and learn them gingerly, I think intuitively the natural tendency would be to t...

Re: 2015 Naish Fusion bar destroyed during self rescue
The failure was bellow the upper part of the bar ends, from what the OP's pics show.tautologies wrote: If I have understood the situation correctly. OP was hooked in, then wound the lines three times around the bar, kite got hit by a wave powered up, and the bar floaters snapped off.
