General Strutless Design questions
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:33 am
There are a couple active, brand specific posts about strutless designs.
Here are two general questions regarding the strutless design.
When the kite drops in the drink, what prevents the canopy from sticking to the water?
Any video of relaunch?
Also how is self landing? I suspect is very simple.
I look very forward to the upcoming Kiteboarder article on the different strutless designs/brands.
Hansen wrote about strutless's general flying charactoristics. Since my ideal kite would be lower aspect, super short and sensitive throw, light bar pressure, and mega drifty - these kites could be pretty interesting.
I just bought new kites for the first time in years. Then I busted my hip, scapula, and 4 ribs.
So I am simply curious as I am just mending and nerding for a while anyway.
