Beautiful
A stack of revolution 4 string stunt kites.
One day, when I have a spare $400 I intend to buy one.
far out, I can't believe it, how irresponsible is that total newb flying his well overpowered kite over the heads of innocent ordinary people on the beach...
who the hell does he think he is....
and where the hell is janet wollard when you need her...?
WOW...takes my breath away.
Nothing has delivered a thrill for me like that since that unforgettable, nail biting final of the synchronised swimming at the 2000 Olympics.
...was wondering mainly about how he was achieving the kite control....at a few points you can see the lines, looks like 7 lines going to the kites (5 LE and 2 TE).....can't quite see what he has in his hands though?
The controlled back-stalls are pretty cool.
The other obvious thing is the possible application to kiteboarding kites....if you can stack two or more very flat high-aspect wings like that, and relaunch the thing backwards off the water, then it gets around the need for the broadly c-shaped arcs that we are using now mainly so we can water relaunch them. I can imagine the hang time could be quite insane......
All the Revolution kites are linked to each other directly. There are 5 lines on the LE and 2 on the TE. You can put as many as you want. The control is done with 2 bended handles like they have one buggy race kite.
Flexifoil have been doing this for ages, puting kite one after the other to add more power is an old concept used during the first world war with observation kites.
I would rather have hepatitis than be forced to watch that again.
Massive yawn
I kick that dudes ass at flying a quad
