Has anyone made or flown this kite?  What does it fly like?

Thank you!

Me and a friend of mine we did it in Italy, now I usually fly the fluid.

Here my last video:

Thanks much for the reply, Walter.

I really enjoyed your video.  Looks like a great kite.  I'll start gathering materials soon.

Thanks Dave,
The kite is voted to precision but can do trick with some engagement of the pilot. If you want an easy tikkable kite this is not the right one. In the STD configuration you can cover all the wind window with 8 km/h but  as a consequence it generates a lot of pull also in mediun wind. I'll try to experiment some webbing panels or holes on the sail to reduce pull and speed in higher wind.

Ciao

No need to be sorry... Your English is MUCH better than our Italian
