Subject: Rokkaku ratios/Parawing Bridling

Thanks for the advice, Mad Hata et al (whose al?)
- since the Rogallo parawing is such an important
form I thought that mathematical analysis/specification
of its sizing/ratios must have been produced in its
development by US military/NASA or whoever (the 
man himself probably stuck it on the patent?) 
hence the particular angle(!) on formulae.

Good thread on Rokkakus though, I'm enjoying
the read..made one or two myself even....6:5:4
though I don't see why one has to adhere to that)
Schimmelpfennig's was good too....

How's about a Rogallaku ??

Hey, now that sounds like a neat kite! Let us know what you come up with.

I just about finished the latest development of my delta coyni-foil this 
weekend. The whole thing should be together tonight. Now I just hope
the venting on the parafoil section isn't to extreme. We'll find out!

Gentle breezes.
