Pilot kite

It's a 6 sq.m 4 cell 8 bridle stackable design that is the most reliable, widest wind range single line kite I've ever developed. It has a bit more pull for it's size, but it's angle of flight is very slightly down in comparison to more performance orientated pilot designs. Three of them stacked are an excellent replacement for the 22 sq.m 4 bridle pilots we generally now use for banner lifting- and a lot easier to launch and fly . Left/right tuning is set by adjusting the relative lengths of the side "B" bridles (same as for the original PL 8 bridle series pilots), and "B" centre can be lengthened up to 200mm for less pull in very strong conditions and for a slight improvement at the light end.

What I can offer is plans for a developed 3 bridle 8sq.m Pilot. It's actually 8.5sq.m flat, probably a bit less than 8sq.m when flying.- and please take note , this design doesn't scale. (no soft kites do). If you make a different size it will behave differently- especially with regard to the volatile instability/superstability balance.
