ah Dunk, then why have you not ordered this new technology? i'm going to stick around with the stuff i know that works for me at the
present and wait to see just how good these new kites really are.
after all i dont want something that might just take me over the edge, a round earth! who ever would beleive that none sense.
anyway i'm saving up for a new van ,much more important!

Some of these new bows sound like a heap of sh1te, but others seem to really have it all together..
I recall having a discussion with my uncle (Head Professor of the canadian Airforce's aerodynamics laboratory) back in 2000 about
kites, and his immediate comments were "They are failing to harness the wind energy efficiently". He went on to say that a wing-type
sail would be more appropriate. So there you have it.
I certainly think they are the way of the future, but try it before you buy it!!

Yeah, once they get it right, Bow kites have GOT to be better. The trouble with traditional 'c'-shaped kites is that there is a lot of
material in the canopy doing nothing as far as generating lift or power goes, but doing a lot as far as ading extra weight goes.
'C'-shaped kites do of course offer lots in the way of depower and stability, so if a bow kite can offer improved depower, and similar
levels of stability then they should be onto a winner as the canopy should be more efficient overall, should have less weight and
therefore be more responsive to boot.
You only have to look at nature... you don't see many birds with 'c'-shaped wings!
