Flight continued

You have to be a little attentive when doing lazy susans to prevent tip wraps and backspins are furiously fast. They are also very flat but they can be half a rotation further than you realise. Rising tornadoes are neat as well. I found flapjacks a little difficult as the kite needs that extra second to fall deep into a turtle and by then altitude was lost. I need to work on that a bit more.

Another thing I need to practice are Mayet style yo yos with this kite. It falls easily into a yo yo but I tended to get both lines over the same leading edge more times than I would like. I think this comes back to how it falls into the turtle and perhaps wobbles which then causes the rotation to be tilted slightly. As I said, I think I need to practise my technique on that one. The kite turtles more easily with the outer stand offs in the inner setting.
