But also lift and drag, the forces that tense the lines. The same kite in heavy cloth or when wet obviously flies worse. But a kite with more pull can counter more weight.
... and say that I agree with Nem0 that the main parameter to kept foil kite in the air in low wind is weight per square meter (more precisely weight by projected area) ;Nem0 wrote: ↑Sun May 27, 2018 8:02 pmDo you mean comparison 18m Pulsion with my 12m Soul or 18m Soul?Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Wed May 23, 2018 11:55 pmCan you compare the marginal wind flight of Pulsion vs soul at the zenith ?

Zenith parking and handling depends on less weight per squaremeter!

I must say no. Because if kite has very low or even negative camber it does not produce lift at all at low AoA's and will not keep in the air, almost no matter how light weight it is constructed. Airfoil has a significant role how kite behaves in low winds.Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 8:07 pm... and say that I agree with Nem0 that the main parameter to kept foil kite in the air in low wind is weight per square meter (more precisely weight by projected area) ;
Not at all. Pulsion 18 is a kite in which light weight is of highest priority, so discussion of the subject is not OT. Else Pulsion is a kind of "antidesign", it ignores much of the development achieved in last 15 years in foil kites (and PG's).Regis-de-giens wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 8:07 pm... sorry for the out-of-topic, we should stick to Pulsion feed-back for readability of the post
