Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

Indeed it was just someone randomly passing by the camera. Nothing to do with the actual race.

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

Is that a kestrel showing the trailing edge to the European fleet? :lol:

Re: What's Up With Naish?

Their windsurfing sections looks absolutely decimated compared to the old days.

Re: solo landing a 5m foil kite

There's no difference indeed, although pulling by hand doesn't immediately kill all the power unless you can reel in the line fast enough. Don't recommend doing it overpowered though, unless you can find a wind shadow to drop the kite into before flagging. I still don't get it. On most low V bars o...

Re: solo landing a 5m foil kite

Front line safety makes foil kites spin causing a tangled mess that can take a while to undo, so only use it when there are no other options left. 5fth line crumbles the wing without spinning or residual pull, making it much more convenient to relaunch after landing in high winds. But they are talk...

Re: solo landing a 5m foil kite

:thumb: :bye: I doubt it will sit still on one frontline. You might be able to build yourself a 5th line for solo landing. Someone on lesfoilz asked about it for a 6m hawk: https://lesfoilz-com.translate.goog/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6108&sid=607de24816d8c8cd37e202f4cec5e736&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_t...

Re: solo landing a 5m foil kite

Assuming you backstall the kite and have it sitting on its trailing edge? If your kite is lifting the trailing edge and catching wind under the kite it can do what you describe. Then you need more pressure on the front lines. Depending on your launch site it would be easier for you to stake the kite...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

😂 I can imagine pumpmeup rolling around laughing!
I can always get by with holding up the intakes for a bit, but how about trapping air in a simple 1-200 liters garbage bag and empty it through an intake hole? Wouldn't that be faster?

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

I just need to figure out how to prevent it from filling up quickly with water, and if it filled up with water, how to drain it while it is still in the water. Any good advice? "Go back to LEI" is not a good advice - I really like the kite. You wanna avoid ANY kind of line tension on the front line...
