Description:

• "IN" call:
  when all kites are flying at ^5,horizontally.
• Spread about 5° apart, and symetrically spread around centre window, a sharp upward turn is performed, all kites at the same time. Each kite flies a rectangle, or square.
  Top of the 'standing' rectangle at 35°.
  The downward turn on the top right (or top left) corner of the rectangles and squares will be simultaneous.
  After these rectangle and squares kites fly towards centre window. Before any kite reaches centre window, but with the two "centre" kites within 3° distance from centre window, a sharp turn upwards follows.
• "OUT" call:
  when all kites have at least travelled 5° upwards.

[Eplanation: the rectangle(s) will allways be flown; squares only by a 5 or 6 persons team;
3 persons team wil fly either the complete left or right half of the figure.]
