TWO LINE TEAM (13): STARBURST AND RETURN

TT - 13, STARBURST AND RETURN

Key Elements:

simultaneous turn upwards
equally spread out (first and last kite having the center of the 'returning' arc at about ^15)
simultaneous last turn

"IN" call:
as soon as the first kite has entered the horizontal line at ^5.
Once the team is centred in the wind window each kite turns upward, and the kites form an equally spaced "star" figure each kite flying at least 45°, reaching the end of each arc at the same time. All kites turn clockwise simultaneously and return towards the centre.
"OUT" call:
after about 10° travel along the same horizontal line at ^5.

[Eplanation: distance between outward and inward leg of each kite is not prescribed, but should not be more than shown.]
