Even when a kite has stable behaviour I can make if go freaky.
Here is one of my early attempts adding control to a lift kite… Uhhh it went that way?
Yep, this sled turns to the left when the right hand bridle has more tension.
I tried a really dodgy arch stabilised sled … don’t
Whereas with an sssl more tension added to the right hand side takes the kite right.
The best line to get a steering response from an SSSL is the B2 line as shown here
This screen grab is from a test putting elasticated B2 bridle links lower down the lift line … what was I thinking?
Now I use a tail which is held by a cradle from the 2 x D webs at the trailing edge and a midway-ish point on the 2 B2 bridle lines.
The KAP foil I show being tested in the first video Can you share your experience with your lifters?
Is more stable… but has much les lift and line tension
