Niëlje has a long history. The first attempt, SHARK IV, was made in the late 90's or early 00's but I had severe difficulties to get it flying. Over the years I made modifications, but it wasn't until 2017 that I got it flying.
Since I had made SHARK IV unnecessarily complicated I spent a lot of time to make it
A) more simple
B) more easy to tune
In 2019 I felt I was well on the way and gave the kite the name Niëlje, which is South Sami language for 'four'.
It is exactly four Skyshark tubes wide and has an aspect ratio of 9.85.
