Hi guys,
I have an old 12m Naish Boxer (not SLE - before that), and I want to remove all the strutts and just have the leading edge (like that "other" kite from Maui)
As you may now this Naish is a full on deadly C-kite from circa 2005. I found it recently, fixed all the bladders, etc pumped it up and I noticed (without pumping the strutts) the kite formed a nice C shape all of its own. I looked and wondered... hmmm what would happen if I remove all the 5 strutts in the canopy and just pump it up as is, and fly it!
Anyone done something as crazy as this? If so please tell me I am not crazy and that it can be done. I reckon being a 12m kite without strutts, this thing will pull like as if it as a 17m NASA! Or am I dreaming.
Your opinions appreciated.
It's this one...
