I - 48 CORNERED AXEL

"In" is called with the kite flying downwards, at 0^80. After a sharp turn at ^25 and 40% horizontal flight the kite is stopped and performes an "axel" (brought into a position with the nose closer to the flyer than any point of the trailing edge, the centerline of the kite more than 45 from the vertical. The kite will make at least a 360 spin around a vertical axes) Directly from the "axel" the kite is flown straight up. "Out" is called after the kite has reached ^80.
