TP - 14 PAIR CIRCLE AND SLIDE

Key Elements:

• equal size of all loops
• at least 15° of 'sideways' flight, below first loop
• the two kites forming a "horizontal lined" formation during the whole figure

Description:

• "IN" call:
  when both kites are flying on a horizontal line at ^30, spaced about 15° apart.
• The first loop of the last kite is made with it's center at <30^15, with a diameter of approximately 20°.
  After the loops the kites continue on the same horizontal line, at the end of which they turn downwards, diameter of the half-loop 25°.
  The kites return to the left on a line that almost 'touches' the bottom points of the loops.
  Below the place of the first loops the kites are turned in an upright position, but following the same horizontal line (so they flies sideways). This is done for at least 15°.
• "OUT" call:
  when a kite has reached <45, after the kites have turned into their "normal" position and flown another 5° horizontally.
