Here is a start on a spreadsheet for the two lineplans. I might have made some errors in the data transfer, but there seem to be some differences in the long mixer values (only looked at the center of the kite so far). Z seems 5cm shorter for example. Kiteexpert - any advice here on cooking up some suitable line lengths for a mod?

But it is not only lines but those triangular keels in which lines attach. They should be of correct size and correctly located on the chord. So for the mod you would need quite many fabric parts and to sew them in

True, but they are pretty simple parts, and maybe a mod can compromise a bit to further simplify. I assume that the spacing between the points is accurately depicted on the lineplan picture...
