Hi all,

I've got myself a new kite recently that does much the same as this (it's
a Brookite stunt No.2 or something), I've also noticed a friends kite do
much the same, both kites are quite different.
What makes a kite flip ? Mine sort of stalls and falls onto its own lines
and no amount of work stops it plummeting then :-( Any thoughts ?
I've adjusted the bridles quite a bit from the original position but it
doesn't seem to help.
Oh and another thing...this new kite seems to "pulse/throb" when it starts
to pull, sort of pull-ease-pull-ease and you can see the kite stretching
and relaxing as it moves ! What on earth causes this ?
cheers,
Dave
