Kiting would provide the nice feature of a speedier rate of ascent to the DSS. *Everybody* ^UP!^ Do the plans call for a fabric ‘wing’ between the arms of the ‘Vee’ so that it may act like a ‘kite’ when it manages to move forward a few knots?

After all these years, I'd Love to see this fly! Any drawings available showing how the cross-member is tied into the overall internal structure? I'd predict that, depending upon the internal structure at the vertex of the "V", torsional loading generated by oscillations between the two "arms" will put a very heavy strain on the cross-piece. Looks Good!
