A mid-ride stop to debate the latest line of scientific inquiry.
The Distinguished Ladies and Gentleman’s Ride – a spring time ride through San Francisco was spawned by the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (www.gentlemansride.com). Waiting for its annual occurrence was too long, so we have a spring ride too. So wear you best, bring you poshest manners, and your best machine for a casual jaunt around The City.

Some confusions were brought out after Dad announced that age would also come into consideration...although he was only joking...
Following a discussion on the KAP Forum I tried some tests to see if I could get a kite to fly reliably off the wind. Here are the results:
In this case the Flow Form 16 is the baseline kite. I tested it against a Flow Form 8, and took up as much as 2.5" of bridle line on one side of the Flow Form 16, but never got much deviation. I did not attempt to try changing the tail layout. I was pleased to see how invariant the flight is as a function of bridle tweaking, but it didn't get me any closer to flying off-wind.
Next I used the Flow Form 16 as the base kite, and tried offsetting a 6' rokkaku. In the case of the rokkaku, I took a tip from Ramon and offset the upper bridle by 2" to the left, and 2" to the right, respectively. The photos from each of these offsets is shown above.
I didn't shoot any video, but the flight in both cases was remarkably stable. Before flying either configuration I flew the rokkaku without an offset, and found it flew just off to the right of the Flow Form. This is also echoed in the above photos, in which the right-hand offset flies farther to the right than the left-hand offset does to the left.
Both kites are on 200' of line. The dimensions of the rokkaku are 5' wide by 6' high. I can't quote the dimensions of the Flow Form. I popped all this into CAD and got angles of 20.7 to the left and 24.8 to the right. I didn't shoot any video, but in both cases flight was quite stable. I'm taking this as a potential for a 20 degree offset either way, give or take.
In any case it works, and it's one more tool to add to the list. I'd like to go out and really characterize this at some point (so much bridle offset = so much sky offset). But for now it's nice just to know it's possible.
I don't know what they were saying, but these two Dunnville Fair volunteers were deep in discussion in the miniature horse show ring.

The event was led by Prof. Vlasios Voudouris, Director of ESCP Europe's Executive Master in Energy Management programme. The event was sponsored by Natural Gas Europe and the world-leading academic publishing company, Elsevier, and organised with ESCP Europe's Research Centre for Energy Management.
The discussion centred on a special issue of the Energy Policy Journal, edited by Dr Voudouris, published in January 2014.
