Oh and by the way - Toby did not have time yet to check the Draft 17 - which I think will be very similar to the Dyno.
My Dyno arrives next week, so I will need to test that

- I am not a designer and have no clue what works or not. I ride it and then I can give feedback if it does the job for me or not.Westozzy wrote:Are you happy with the overall design having no centre strut, meaning if north made a more powerful version for heavy riders would you say this 6 strut open centre design will work?
Do you think more aspect is needed maybe to develop more power as per the 2011?
Is the canopy as stable (the 2011 as you know is rock solid)... Notice any fluttering through that open centre section?
It kind of leaves us with 18s (and a 16) scratching our heads to be honest, especially as I am that lighter rider you talk about.
But all things said and done above, do you think the design WORKS, for what we do? Have they developed a decent airstyle kite or is the airstyle factor a function of it being a big bloody kite...!!
I.e. Are you happy overall with the power deliver, can you load and pop against it given decent winds enough movement in the vertical plain....(it doesn't give up on you at the edge of the window).

Those kites looked like inflatable Flysurwaaier eeds, high aspect slow turning with insane hang time but they only made 13m max at that time. Powerful kites like Dyno is not for me especially in those sizes maybe 14m Rebel and get used to the faster turning. I like the idea of a fifth line going out on something big in too much wind for both for stability and safety.
