Modified Flare

A David Pelham Flare but 50% bigger with a few modifications. It has a 100 inch wing span.

 

It has 1) additional lower keels (after the DoPeRo) with dynamic-bungee (a la WindWatcher) for easier tuning and to give more support in strong wind, 2) a drag-inducing wide "tail" for stability and slightly lower line angle, 3) three optional attachments points for fuzzy tail, and 4) stronger spreaders (skyshark400 for lower, 4-wrap Revolution 1.5 leading edge spar +10" for the upper) to extend the wind range up toward infinity.

 

First flight. Steady with a steep line angle and a hard pull. It didn't want to come down at all when flying in 10-20 mph winds.

 

Built for lifting cameras.
