Isn't that a little like the Batwing SLE that was out there a couple years back? In any case a big bridal AND a 5th line is just to much string for me.

I wonder if the shape of that trailing edge would reduce flutter?

if the kite is designed proper it won't flutter anyways.

if you need a mile of bridle lines AND a 5th line to support your kite, you failed as a designer.

I don't know where do you see bridle lines on this Korsar kite? even if it is C-kite?

but anyway any zig-zag leading or trailing edge experiments are waste of time and money.

even zig-zaging of leading edge pioneer (naish) is rounding its edges this year. really fun to observe! globekite is too losing its absurd beaks on sonics.

probably for Advance-kite would be novelty to introduce soon even number of the struts for their kite to be... because all the rest tried and ditched the ideas some time ago already

The only one who's an idiot is probably you... Sir JGTR.

Find out first why a C kite is called a C kite- before you attack to people like that. Also probably a ...muppet can :"ride" better than you.
