Indeed. However, Makani (not reeling yo-yo mode) has published numerous reports and videos detailing the malfunctions and also successes.
Since Makani was developing a rigid crosswind flygen AWES, one can expect that some malfunctions might be similar to those encountered in rigid crosswind AWES in reeling mode, but if they had the same dimensions, which does not seem to be the case, except if one takes into account Makani’s first wings, which were smaller, but we do not have complete reports available for them.
If malfunctions specific to reeling mode are observed, such as problems related to electricity generation by winches during the reel-in and reel-out phases, and if these problems also affect the flying equipment, it would be useful to know.
