Notes...
From a Hamburg Collection.
Flown on Blackheath 29/12/2019 4-6mph. Spreader needed to be tight on loop knot. Back ties should probably be tight
From the blog:- "We put together the Peter Malinski Flare Kite (ex Hamburg) with its substantial tubular frame in c120cm units, so c240cm high in the four vertical sleeved pockets with press stud closures and the c360cm horizontal secured by loops at the sail edges and substantial ties at two further points at the back of the sail. The sail pulled tight very neatly and looked very flat overall. The kite felt heavy on the ground but as soon as the windspeed threshold required was reached it took off like a rocket with a very smooth linear trajectory."
