Do you mean that a c kite flies every moment at the edge of the window while you're riding?funalex wrote:a c kite don't instant peak to the edge of the wind window...it stay with a constant speed at any angle of attack.
What do you mean exactly when you talk albout angle of attack?funalex wrote:when you pop, you add a lot of angle of attack to your kite, in the following second when you release the pop, the angle of attack become very low.
a C kite at very low angle of attack want to fall, to pivot arround it's front pigtail, and it take more time to recover its power, giving you more time to pass the bar...
with a racing kite, after the pop, the kite accelerate taking too much power for 2 second...giving you good pop, but no slack ! and because the kite sit farther in the wind window, it can disturb you to get a good pop, because the approach become more complicated, and not usual with other kites.
