Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

compared to soul, kestrel has more ratio, but is less flat canopy, so, overall performances are in the same range. kestrel has very little less grunt in low end than a soul, maybe if it would exist, a kestrel 10.3m=soul 10m, but in upper range kestrel 10m=soul 8m. Soul has a little more hangtime, bu...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

Just to explain... This mod is absolutely not mandatory. It's just for those who suffer of really too much bar pressure. But 99% of riders prefer a faster kite, for the price of a little more bar pressure... but for 6m or 8m kites, it can be good to have a slower kite too. And I don't recommand to u...

Re: Virtual assistant to launch foil kite in very high winds

I've tested little plastic 3D printed clips, and it works, but I don't really like adding plastic on bridle, because of tangle .... I would prefer to do that with line... have an idea, but not the time to test.

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

12 and 8m hawk are very good kite to begin with, but carefull, a foilkite doesn't like full speed middle of window crash... if your friend, already know moving a kite, you can go...otherwise, a tubekite is a better choice... just because of this overpressure problem. A foilkite hates big crash.

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

Sorry Tilman, this flat kite can't work... because, the flat canopy leading edge can be held by the bridle, but the trailing edge, to match the leading edge flatter arch, won't have support... it woks on bow kite only because of the legaignoux bow patent, the more backward the center of pressure is ...

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

Whatever the pump, the energy spent would be really more important... sorry, but I'm a foilkite fan, so pumping matters for me :) Legaignoux prooved the concept is a really good one, you all prooves it works, and can be done... but the constraints must all been solved to be sold on day. So, this is ...

Re: Virtual assistant to launch foil kite in very high winds

One of my entry for that idea... No fifth line.

One of my idea, is to slide one B into the other B, and once the kite is turned a lot, releasing the system... But I didn't have time to continue this idea...

Re: High Pressure kite by Bruno Legaignoux

So for an entire hp tube kite, it would take 8 x the standard time of pumpung an energy.. Or I misunderstood ?

Don't you think it could kill the concept ? I think it's the only ennoying point 🤔
