Fractured Axel

That's how we rolled 20 years ago, you kids!

Have you flown one? They're an old flat kite and not very trick friendly - moves that would look good an a modern kite do look pretty gimpy on old stuff. They will fly in a gnats fart though.
1:36 looks like the line catching on the trailing edge, maybe the battons.

It looks as though it could be quite 'precise' if it that 'oversteer' was cured. Perhaps just a bridle design problem.

I think thats just a bit of over-controlling, ISTR being pretty impressed by the precision at the time (but precision was all you got).

Gotta admire Mr. Benson's right of refusal

looks like we were lucky the maker had run out of lime green and went for mylar instead

Prismatex, not mylar, dear boy, Prismatex. Prismatex is far more tacky!

There's more than the Atlantic Ocean that separates us from our colonial friends. There's also the small matter of taste.

Sounds like somebody paid >$1K for this atrocity in the Kite Party auction



Just as well Mike wasn't there ... or he might have had to pay $2K for this Fractul masterpiece
