Man that brings back memories. I think I was the guy that invented that stationary footed technique Sure helped when it was expertly built and light. A good Veco or Torpedo .19 would kite like fly the darn thing if built real light and flown on 60 foot lines. First noticable "floater" for me indeed. It did need a little more outside rudder with this setup[X(]. My first lesson in wing loading for sure!
