New Tech Kites

I picked up a few of them in hopes of a pairs or team.
In the mean time while looking for member/s I was wondering if they can be flown as a stack.
I have no experience with stacks so if it is a good idea any help on stack bridles would be great.

Thanks,

Most kites are stackable. The Techno can pull pretty hard so be prepared. You will put extra strain on your bridle. The link lines (you will need 5) should all be of equal length and they connect at the bridle attachment points. The length of the link lines can be 3/4 the length of the leading edge.

Have fun!

Thanks for the quick reply.
I guess I have a new project for this weekend.
I have a parafoil that I like to play with in higher winds and a vented Tram that I have flown in 40mph winds. Plus I carry enough weight to help manage the pull.

I guess I can make a heavier bridle.

BTW, I do like the kite. It has seen more air time than the Mamba lately.

Thanks,
