From: dorf@iesd.auc.dk (Thomas Dorf Nielsen) Subject: Error in QUIRL from "Leistungsstarke..."? Date: Tue, 23 Apr 1996 03:56:05 -1000 Organization: Math & CS at Aalborg University Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-User: dorf In Peter Rieleit's "Leistungsstarke Lenkdrachen zum Nachbauen. (Efficient Stunt Kites to Build, Ravensburger Verlag ISBN 3-473-42286-X) there are plans for a soft stunt-kite called "QUIRL" (Much like a Flexifoil without the spar.) In the plans it says to make the two sheets of ripstop for the upper and lower surface *both* 63 cm high. Isn't that an error? 63 cm is not enough to make it all the way along the - curved - lower edge of the profile! Has anyone tried building this kite? Is this the only error, or has my unsharp sight missed something else? Good windz! /dorf -- Thomas Dorf Nielsen | dorf@iesd.auc.dk | "...and the rest - Amagergade 25, 1.TV | http://www.iesd.auc.dk/~dorf | is silence..."
