FP - 12 CIRCLED EIGHT
Key Elements:
- keeping the kites in the given positions during circles
- relative size of circles
- "close" meetings at top and bottom
Description:
- "IN" call:
when the kites are flying towards center window, at least at <20.
- Both kites are flying horizontally, the top one with the top of the kite in the flying
direction, the bottom kite flies sideways. These kite positions relative to the flying direction
will stay the same while flying the circles.
Both kites start flying the circle at the same time, the bottom kite the large circle, the top
kite the two smaller ones.
When they arrive at the bottom meeting point again, the flying direction is turned 180§, the
kites themselves do not turn.
- "OUT" call:
after at least 20° horizontal flight; the top kite flying backwards, the bottom kite
sideways.
[Eplanation: "close" meaning less than a half a wingspan apart.]
