Flying the SkyBow under a Lifter Kite
Yesterday we flew Roy Mueller's SkyBow vertically under the Gomberg Falcon. We were able to walk around a wide arc testing different angles and shapes. Only when the radius of the arc became too tight did the SkyBow stop spinning. CC BY NC SA
The 250ft SkyBow Pro experienced a nice boost by being lifted
higher. The Pilot-Kite also made launching and starting the SkyBow easier.
In effect, we created 1/2 of a 500ft SkyBow arch which might someday
usefully feature a Pilot-Lifter at its center. There was a lot of empty
space in our configuration to festoon the sky with multiple SkyBows in
peacock arrays. Comment and development of this topic will be occurring here also:
