there are at least two more: 1) sliding battens and 2) the option to bend battens temporary the way we did it as young boys with our self made kites: a fixed...
Hi Bernard, In your comment below, are you saying that you would give up the fanned battens or that you would use Reddish's construction method? Do you still...
It occurs to me that the camber returns to 0 at each batten. We have, I assume, been using the maximum camber of each panel. Should we be using the average...

Hi Stephen, Fanned battens and the Reddish construction method are two different things. I would certainly use the Reddish (or rather chinese) method, to get...

I made a new version of the camping junk. Although I like the Pelican very much, I rather prefer a longer and narrower easily driven hull shape. It is loosely...

Hi, John I don't know if camber makes for faster acceleration, but you should be able to point higher if you had some camber, which would certainly get you...

Horizontal, parallel battens do not prohibit twist induced camber. The amount of twist induced camber depends on the amount of twist per panel. The more...
