Experiment with a two-kite train, a Fled Mk III flying on top with a Flowform-8 (FF03a) with an auxillary 10 meter flying line, with a small carabiner connected to the main flying line about 15 meters below the Fled.
This combination was chosen because of the different flying angles of both kites, so the flying lines would not get tangled.
The train developed quite a strong pull and a nice 60degrees flying angle, it was able to lift a 1,5l P.E.T bottle filled with water effortlessly (see other pics in this set).
Wind conditions were on the strong side for the Fled (25-28km/h with gusts up to 47km/h). The Fled doesn't like strong winds, causing the it to swing from left to right.
The Fled was flown with a 3m Fuzzy tail, the Flowform had a 5m fuzzy tail.
Taken with my s100 rig lofted by a Flowform 30. Unfortunately I was not able to get the camera far enough away from the castle to take a photo showing it all. English Heritage (who manage the castle/museum) have a better one.
Here I had to be extra careful to stand under the camera to catch it if the wind died :-) I don't think it would survive being bounced on the lens.
A flowform I made from plans in "Soft Kites and Windsocks" by Jim Rowlands. 1.76M by 0.82M. Creates quite a pull, so much I've not got round to trying it with my camera yet. Photo by my son.

Clamcleat CL-217 Mk2 and a normal cleat on a strip of Aluminum. A pair of standard Dee-shackles + carabiner is used to connect the strip to the anchor.

This kite was shot with a iPhone 4S it is my biggest and heaviest parafoil kite. When I first flew it on a very strong windy day I had notice it would lean to the right and it was very difficult to bring back in but, of course I got it back down and put it to the side to fly another day. The second time I put it up I attach a fuzzy tail using a Y bridle and it flew beautifully, that I did a KAP session which was a little scary but, successful in the end.
I purchased 2 cheap flow form/parafoil type kites on ebay for $10.50 each the measure about 3ft by 4.5 or so. It is flying much lower than my 12ft delta.

19mph wind today, 48 degrees fahrenheit, it feels like the end of kite season. :(
I thought I would be able to brave out the winter chill, but after 10 minutes on the reel my hands were dead, and it's still fall! In the background you can see the capital, I may crop a close up of it but with 5mp these images can't handle too much cropping.
My GoPro HDHero is connected to some kevlar line on a FlowForm 8 kite with a fuzzy tail.

The light shinning on the kite was an accident (the camera was inside a protective, transparent plastic cover). Do you believe this is some kind of sign? :-)

Harald Prinzler flowform. One of my longest serving kites, I keep trying to keep a limited set on my bike but one look at the wind today and I knew it was a 'Molar' day.
A more interesting composition (to me anyway) Taken with an Olympus 760SW in a modified Brooks Leffler rig hung from a Flowform 16.
