They had one minor and one major fault: After a leading edge landing followed by a cartwheel, one line was wrapped around a wingtip (Known problem of Northshore Radical). The kite would not have started properly. The second fault happend in an axle in middle height: The kite flipped backwards and came down like a feather. The Northshore Kites cannot be caught from that flying position. Aircraft had one of the best ground crews on earth, so no severe problems could come up. >Congrats again!! = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
