In the end, it's always a matter of personal taste.
As far as the centrifugal mass (less about rigidity) in the leading edge is "intercepted" by the rest of the setup or it fits, that can be awesome.
And of course the prevailing wind or the targeted wind range plays a decisive role in developing a stunt kite.

@kenmcneill
who flew in the video, you?
Very nice Jacobs Ladder, pulled around very soulfully, without a deep turtle. I haven't seen anything like it in a long time.

Devin Cobliegh-Morrison is the flyer. I didn't expect half the things he was pulling from the kite. I wish we had been able to get more of the good stuff on video!

Don't worry about language. Google does OK job.

My new STD prototype gets 6mm in the leading edges and 5mm in the spreader ... should be crisper in the corners of the direction change ... at least with my understanding of my new kite ... also more distributed flywheel mass for stronger winds of course.

I look forward to hearing more about the new kite! What is the size?

Wish you all the best for you Kite-Forge and hope you give us new anf great Kites!

Thank you, I will do my best.

Generally cool that a forge is starting up again.

I find Full Nitro somehow understandable why the LK stiffer than the EQS is beyond my understanding. But it can still work, depending on the location, area and objective ...

I agree, it depends.

I took a one year break from 2012-13, but have been making kites as Blue Moon Kites since 1999.

Until now I always found nitros in the leading edges too powerful.

Zitat von GiMiCX

There are a lot of places that I agree on the Nitros being too stiff. I'm still testing frames in both kites, and will likely offer a choice of Nitro LE or P300 ULE/5PT LLE.

First thought: Wow how smooth and floaty ... then we went on the flight: Wow, Warp 9: D

Does look fast in the video, doesn't it? I think the video angle and extremely short camera lens exaggerates the relative speed and distance. Perhaps more like warp 4?

So the shirt shown is a BMK design and is already there. This should also be clear who is meant with Ken.

Yes, you've found me out! When the new site is ready, all of the shirt designs (I have more) that don't have the BMK logo will go to The Kite Gnome.

Sorry for the reply in English, my German is extremely limited. Mostly just kite words.
