Some Ariels
Morten Pind made an Ariel with a
slightly raised upper spreader and thinner solid spars and a unique approach
to the leading edge sleeves. The top spreader may be a little bit longer
than I would use. His message from Denmark follows.
Stan,
FINALLY! I got to fly my Ariel today. -It flew, and it flew great! It was
very different from the stunt kite I have, but I expected that. What
really impressed me was that it flew in such a light breeze and how high
in the sky it went!!! -at one point it actually flew over my head (maybe I
should adjust the bridle a little) :-) But I must say, I was very
impressed with your design. The was one other guy on the field with some
HQ kite and my Ariel flew at least as good :-) I actually managed to
do a couple of LE launches and something that might be regarded as sort of
an axle (keep in mind that I'm a complete newbie to trick flying). I am
already planning another Ariel as I really like the size of it :-) -But
man doing those tricks is difficult, -it looks so easy when I studied the
instructions at Prism's web site :-) I'll keep you posted when I have gotten some flight
experience, but I've gotta I love my Ariel already!!! Best regards Morten,
happy owner of an Ariel ;-)
