Globerider Lift2 Förklaring
Från och med nästa vecka har vi en SWT120 för den som vill pröva en stubbie från underground.
Angående Globerider kan de som är intresserade gå in på följande sida för att se hur GLK lift kommer att se ut,och läsa förklaringarna under strecket. http://www.globeriderkites.com/gkl2.ram , Ps 04 drakarna kommmer att börja säljas, just det 04 D.sGloberider Introduces A Major Breakthrough in Kite Design
Mat Pendle and the Globerider R&D team have done it again. They have recently released the details surrounding their mysterious new wing-tip design, and it is nothing short of Revolutionary. This patented new system dramatically increases the range of the kites and adds more steering response. It allows the kite to depower more than any kite on the market, at the same time creating much more lift with far less drag.Here’s How It Works
The Variable Control concept is based on dynamic front line attachments which move forward and back when the kite is trimmed in and out. There are two front line attachments on each wing-tip approximately 6″ appart. These are joined by a loop of line with a pulley which travels along it. The front line pigtail is attached to the pulley. When the kite is sheeted in, the front line pulley travels back on the wingtip, opening up the leading edge while stablizing the wingtip. As the kite is sheeted out, the pulley travels to the front of the wing-tip, allowing the kite to depower much more than any other eliptical kite.
The downward angle of the wing-tip is critical for this system to work properly. We all know the effects of moving the front lines further back. It makes the kite fly more off the front lines and creates more power. The downside of this is the loss of depower ability. This system has the best of both worlds, and it adjusts automatically. When the kite is fully sheeted in, the front lines move to the possition where you would attach the lines to fly 2-line. This also eliminates a lot of bar pressure and makes the kite steer much faster. If you prefer a slower turning kite, you have the option of two back line attachment possitions.
Performance Benefits
Inflatable kites as they are designed today are limited. They cannot achieve a high angle of incidence without wing-tip flaring, which creates a large amount of drag as you can see in the illustration to the left. When the rider pulls in the back lines, the kite reaches a point where the downward force on the back lines translates into inward force, causing the flaring effect. This is like putting on the brakes, and when the forward speed of the kite decreases, so does the amount of lift.
Globerider’s new system allows the kite to acheive a much greater angle of incidence while reducing drag. When the kite is sheeted in, the front lines move back towards the trailing edge, shortening the wing-tips. This eases the pressure on the back lines, eliminating the flare effect. This equals huge lift with minimal drag along with a major reduction of jellyfishing.
At the same time, this system allows the kite to depower more than any kite on the market. When the kite is sheeted out, the front lines move forward beyong the point that any other kite is flown. This allows the kite to rock forward and achieve an incredible amount of depower while remaining stable. This will be a giant advantage for beginners and pros alike.The 2004 GK LIFT 2 has many other new features as well. The construction has taken a step up to the highest level seen by this industry to date. Some new features include segmented struts, dump valves on the tips of the leading edge, pump leash/ 5th line attachment, custom carbon control bar and of course our exclusive dacron sub-frame.
Sizes include: 6.8m, 8.8m, 11.5m, 14.2m, 17.3m and 20m.
