hm, Toby, sth doesn´t yet work .. any idea ?

it still comes from the Yahoo groups.
Any picture stored in the groups can't be displayed. You have to have it on a different server located, then it will work.



see, it works !

where can I get this space from if I don´t have own server access ?

There you are:

I have a friend who saw it. The ribs are very skinny. The ribs are attached to the leading edge with more stuff. He said it looked stronger.

The top end is much higher. He saw it used in very high winds.

Maybe the extra rigid shape, or more precise shape from the extra panels helps here. Seams create rip stop barriers. That’s a real good thing. Less chance of a huge panel blowout from an undetected cut. As long as they hold the price, let them add all the panels they want, if it makes it perform better. To say it’s a marketing gimmick to make a more expensive kite and then charge the same, doesn’t add up. Don’t let brand bias blind you and make you stupid. That’s my logic on the subject.

One more thing my friend saw on the Rhino II. A new trick inflation valve on the ribs. It self seals, but also vents for deflation without having to squeeze it. It doesn’t have a ball stopper either. I’ll bet this helps when trying to keep those skinny ribs hard and stiff.

Hangtimer, some services may work with loading up and then adding it here.
But I know none, maybe someone else know where to get webspace for pics and be able to display it here?

Anyway, we have nice pictures now, or do you have better ones?
