You know I've just been looking at the l'atelier range and to my mind the Transfer realy does look like a C-class, if you changed the sail graphic a bit and put roll over hoop things on it.
Hmm. then again, maybe the nose angle is wrong and the wing tips are different, well whatever

hmmm, interesting. I wonder how it will fly oposed to the c-class. I hope wim gets one so I can find out 
and the transfer may look a bit like a c-class. if you take away the winglets about 30 cm of it's wingspan and half the amount of pull. but the way the transfer flies is totaly in contrast to the way bensons have flown in the past.

seems like you guys see a c-class in everything
so
speedwing + spine + standoffs = c-class?
and
speedwing + spine + standoffs + winglets = transfer?
anyways, there's a lot more that makes two kites different than the number of spines and/or standoffs; I haven't flown the c-class, but I'm quite certain that Andy & Tim put that typical benson-feel in there; and the Cesium has his own typical Atelier feel, that I know for sure;

That's bizarre. I just spoke to Tim and he said he has shaved <i>his</i> facial hair to resemble your cat!
What a strange coincidence!
As for kites that look like the C-Class, I'm not too worried. Any fool can make a kite that looks like a C-Class (and I'm sure some will), but very few can make one that flies like a C-Class.

And even fewer can get their hands on a C-Class to fly one
