I realize that this question(s) could be a bit difficult to answer: How would learning to pilot the Fulcrum fit in to the (my) project of learning the REV-like Hadzicki wings well? Can skills more directly be translated between the two or is it more like it adds to ones general kite background experience in some way? Say if one spends time working on various tip pivots, would they be similar enough in execution so that the skills can be transferred between the two kite types?
How about: clockworks, bicycles, travelling bicycles, axels, 180 deg team turns and sudden start and stops in any direction - Are they also “transferable"? Perhaps I’m doing the Fulcrum a big injustice by viewing it through REV-like glasses when assembling this list? (However, it is not the case that I necessarily exclude anything not REV-like from by bag – e.g. I also appreciate the uniqueness of my Smithi Pro in relation to my other QLKs)
Do you get the same flying-a-sail-feeling or is it more like a dual line trick kite feeling when piloting the Fulcrum? Are catches and throws out of the question?
