 Wed Jul 22, 09 12:04 pm NOTE ; on design to sling shot sports |
 |

HELLO: just back in buenos aires after 15days in cali,
>>>>>>>> A while ago watching two sons and thier father self teaching them self to kite, I saw the natural reflex to get the kite in the air was to yank on the bar repeatedly,the kite did nothing,
>>>>>>>> but it does give me an idea, if you put a center battened, and make a flaping kite like a bird flying with the wind lift of the wave : a pelican: the pelican light wind machine,
>>>>>>>>>this next idea is more wakestyle a two bar kite with the chicken loop being the second bar. a wake bar chicken!!!!with aleash belt! no hooking in?
>>>>>>>>>and i hope your new designs include a bigger then a 14rpm?
>>>>>>> a 17m octane would be nice , that doesnt crumble in 20 knts< and will keep me ridding in12knts.> if i am 300lbs! by crumple is fold the wingtip on it self, or the leading edge, or fold in center. that delivers more power in 8knts for a 165lbs rider than any kite!!! see you in argentina the secret agent barks like a dog.
.... hey , hey, emery!!

its so clear and easy to me,first the center batten is the body of the bird. it might be a ten liner! or eight minimun! but who cares just ideas and when you need lift you can flap the thing like a bird! Lou has a picture doing a seagull imitation!!! so two lines to the body ,two too leading edge and four lines to wing tips, i throu these ideas out openly because everyone is ovio copying and is shit! so lets see who picks these! then another great idea is a kite. with a center line set up all the lines go throu center tube for twenty feet or so!!! my next idea is a centered bar which means you push on the bar and go back wards no turning the kite , and the kite would have a small inflatable trailing edge. its an idea i got from helicopters that fly upside down they use a center stick! so hope my endles thought train , keeps you hopen this advanced r&d keeps advancin, is a 2010 rpm going two,three, or four strut?

I think the 2010 rpm is going to have 15 struts to celebrate slingshots 15th anniversary year. It also will include an optional fly bird attachment for unlimited hang time.
Siiiiick!

I like you're thinking....
howbout this...hook a wakeboard tow rope on to a remote control helicopter.
only one line
unlimited lift/hangtime
works in 0mph wind conditions
give the controls to a friend and it becomes a team sport
instructors can fly it for you while you focus on riding
only downside is it uses gas. hell make it run on biodiesel
I can't imagine it costing much more then MSRP on the new 2010 kites
