I haven't voted here. My biggest concern with a kite is the added expense.

Rather than saying yes or no to a kite at this stage I'd like to see us develop a "rule" (area, pole length etc) so that if people do build one they are all the "same" and then wait and see if its adopted. I view the use of trapezes in a similar way. It wouldn't surprise me if we ended up with F12 and F12hp (with kite and trap) or something similar.

I know Gato has discussed a kite with his sail maker and I'd be keen to hear what area they are considering.
