    Hey guys I am going to try and stack my 5 Steve LaPorte The Spirit kites and am wondering if anyone has any tips for me?  Any help at all would be appreciated : link line length, strength, any special knots?  Have never done this before, but have become obsessed with the idea - so it will happen  Please help stacker gurus!

The recently passed Dennis (Dorsal) Fishback stacked 5 Spirits.

There were a total of 8 lines in-between each kite. You can probably

estimate the length of the lines used in the photos by comparing them

to the wingspan of the kite.

This is the final in a series of 5 photos taken in 2004:



Here, Dennis even carries the Spirit case like a Dorsal fin (I miss him):

I stack my revs (and other kites) at the bridle points only

Seem to fly well


OK ..... after looking at John's photo... the link lines ( are indeed attached at the bridle points

I would never argue with you on how to stack kites. 

Just showing how someone had done it.
