I had a wonky 2005 Slingshot fuel 9m.
Also owned a Rhino2,Torch, Mach5, Tribal, Impact, Bandit 2/3/4/5/6
Never had any wonky kites from Naish and Fone, probably wouldn't have noticed if my Rhino2 was wonky .
Adjustable camber on a kite? that would be fun, I could see it being used in racing to fine-tune your rig.There Is a way to do that without the use of a batten :
a guy could make the last two panels of a kite so that the camber distribution
could be adjusted. Perhaps it could be done with lacing that could be covered
with a Velcro cloth faring ; you'd only need one near each wing-tip.
Yep-- we do this at the root of a HG already, where the two wing halves meet.

Well, if by a "truck full" you mean two, then I agree with you. That's a pretty small truck though.Brent4336 wrote:
Thank god thats over. Kites are so wicked awesome these days. I cover 13-40 knots with two of em...... That would take a truck full of windsurfing sails.
