I suppose it all depends on what loads you are gonna put on those lines and canopy.
And the wind speed where a large kite becomes a kick ass Airstyle kite you want all the support you can get ... In my humble opinion of course based on riding the kites I have and finding out what I have. But it's only an opinion of course.
And physics ....
Yeah that's true - but the higher the wind the nastier the difference in gusts here. Need more support.
... and surely they're scaling down the dimensions of the struts

3 Rebel 18 are on the way to St Peter Ording.
Hopefully arrived on Thursday for light wind testing.
Saturday looks like high end testing...

Watching the news. Toyota have just announced a Land Cruiser with no chassis rails. Pretty responsive apparently ... And cheap to build
Westozzy, this is what I diged out from Toyota Website :
Body Construction
Unitized steel body on 10-member high-tensile steel ladder frame
That sounds like a frame to me

Ok stupid question.
Ok kite looks great design that is.... The colors suck (not that they matter). I up to my ass in green. I don't want anything green over top.
So that leaves Blue or Red?
The thought of a big F'n red kite taking up 3/4 of the beach comes to mind....
Thoughts?

White and blue would have been my favorite design
I am waiting for the info about color options...once I know I will post it.
But maybe this is the only option there is...let's see.
But actually, I don't care, as long as it performs like it should!
