Hi all, i need some help from those of you who understand these things.
For about a year i have been playing around with a smaller version of our team kite trying to make it a little more tricky but still keep it's precision. Now, precision i can do and understand but as for tricks, i stopped learning when i mastered the axle. Well, at the time it was the only trick there was!
My problem. The kite flies well but will not stay in a fade. When i initiate the fade the kite pops onto it's back but then just bounces back into flight. The bridle is deliberately long to enable a fairly rapid roll-up but i can't help think that this is where the problem lies.
So, has anyone analysed the bridle properties of a kite that is rock solid in a fade?
Many thanks for your help. Maybe you can stop me pulling the last bits of my hair out!
