That was my impression too. I also wondered about righting from a turtle position, as that also looked like it might be more frequent. Additionally,I wondered what was the recommended action when entering a Pitch...blow the tack and round up?? Bear off??...One would think that with the kite up you would bear off, but to me it looks like you will be going butt over tea-kettle every time trouble starts. Worth a ride and the price is right, though!
