In an earlier post, Armin said that the 5 is actually nearly 5.5 flat.

And in another post that the 4 was a bit smaller than 4m.

Kitexpert would likely be better to answer this, but I will try. There is ways to scale a kite, likely software to do it, but there is formulas at the base of it. This will arrive you at a kite that should fly well but there could remain some optimization. Likely just little tweaks to the bridles, but at the extreme the AR and other things can be changed. In the past and still for brands like Pansh it would seem things were only scaled. This had the odd effect that some sizes would be better than others. So brands have taken to the more extreme adjustments per size to optimize them all.tomtom wrote: Foilholio - given you experience and low probabilty of FS making smaller than 3m peak. How hard will be making smaller than 3m kite from 3Like cut it to 3 piece and sew it together smaller. AR will be lower of course. Or its easier just buy quite much more expensive concept air?
Thanks that post is the same being that the 5 is a bit smaller than 5.5. It sounds that my sizes of 3, 4, 5.5, 8.5, 11.5, 13.5 are correct. The slight differing would be that say 5.5 is the designed area but slight alterations etc dont quite meet that size or it is just rounding up.merl wrote: In an earlier post, Armin said that the 5 is actually nearly 5.5 flat.

I think it is always nice to have the actual numbers. The LEI world is awash with gross mislabeling, bigger one year small the next. It causes confusion and makes it hard to compare, which is likely the desired result. Marketing are aholes.tomtom wrote: Everything is right about sizes you just have more information than you need.

Agree.tomtom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 1:35 amYou are right - Peak is hard to REALLY slack - couse they drifting so well a sit deeper in VW. BUT and this is big but. If you use smallest possible size - so kite is in its low end - this rest pull from kite is like nonexisting. I often pull on chicken loop line with hand and try to estimate how much pull is there - normaly its in ca. 1kg range.

Use the projected sizes and you will know more.
