FI-09 HOPS

Key Elements:

• symmetric four arcs
• perpendicular landings. ("touchdowns")

Description:

• "IN" call:
  at starting point, with the kite in vertical position, the right wing touching the ground at about <40
• A straight line upwards is flown until about ^15 is reached. Then a semi-circle is flown, diameter 20°, during which the kite itself turns 90°. The kite is brought back downwards, touching the ground with the left wingtip at <20.
  Three similar arcs are flown afterwards.
  All ground-touches (except of course at "IN" and "OUT") should last no longer than approximately 2 seconds.
• "OUT" call:
  when the kite lands at its right tip, at >40
