Duo d'Arc
Before anything else, the "DUO D'ARC" is a beautiful
kite : a rainbow in motion. Its flight is passably clean, fly it slowly or else,
its sail will close up on you. Avoid the edges of its restricted wind window and
also flying up backward. The lateral slides won't work as they do with several
"4 liners" unlike the Revolution. In fact, flying is quite particular : mainly,
the forward-rearward movements of the handles tend to re-stabilize it (as for an
arch). When it spins upon itself, its double strip of sail tend to corkscrew
flexibly with elegance into space and that is the way I dreamed of it. Finally,
I must admit that th results I obtained owe much to the experiments made on the
Sled by Sylvien VENET, to the explanations I got from Etienne VEYRES who created
the arches, and also to a technical improvement made to the Sled by Georges
RIVALS.
