FP - 09 STEPS

Key Elements:

• two equal sized squares (the ones in the middle of the figure)
• keeping the kites in the given positions
• even speed during the figure

Description:

• "IN" call:
  when the two kites fly horizontally, one directly above the other
• the bottom kite (kite 1) flying with the leading edge in the flying direction, the top one (kite 2) flying sideways. Distance about 10°, at <25. At every corner kite 1 turns 90°, keeping the leading edge into the flying direction. Kite 2 will be kept in the same position during the figure. Timing of the turns should be such that both kites fly at the same time vertically in the first square, and horizontally in the second. Size of the squares should be about 10°.
• "OUT" call:
  when, on the last stretch, the top kite has travelled at least 5° horizontally
