FI-11 BICYCLE

Key Elements:

• the two full rotations
• the center of the kite will move with an even speed forward
• horizontal, straight flight (of the kite's center) while rotating

Description:

• "IN" call:
  at the start at <35
• The kite starts in a vertical position, the left wing touching the ground. A straight line upwards is flown until about ^20 is reached. Then a 720° c.w. spin (two full rotations) is performed. The center of the kite should follow a straight, horizontal line of 70° during these rotations, as is shown on the diagram. When the kite has reached >35, at the end of the rotations, it is stopped and flown downwards (sideways).
• "OUT" call:
  when the kite lands at its left tip, at >35
