Getting ready to think about how to build a 3:1 or 4:1 depower for ss turbine, that I'm riding with a Sector V2.
Just want to make sure I am not missing something stupid here. The total power/depower stroke is the combination of the bar movement from chicken-loop to bottom of stopper plus the distance from the top of the stopper to bottom of the swivel/pulley assembly - right?
Companies divide this up as a balance between being able to sheet in/out during gusts & lulls and depower cleat to trim in-out to control max power in gusts?
For racing it seems like fastest riding style is to keep kite relatively still (unless really low winds) and use high ratio depower to keep up with gusts and lulls.
When you are building 3:1 or 4:1 depower systems are you being 'religious' about keeping the relative split between bar throw and depower strap throw the same, or are you not worrying so much about that - and if you are keeping them the same, why?
