Hi all,

>Could  someone explain how you can go out of a "double  turtle".  
>Btw. what is the regular name of this move ?

     The Maneuver of which you speak is know as "THE YO-YO"

     It is the one of the feature attractions of the Gremlin  and 
Goblin  Kites (See the Into The Wind Catalog) produced by  Condor 
kites  in  Colorado.   The execution of  the  maneuver  is  fully 
explained in their brochure which comes in the bag with the kite. 
These  kites were introduced at the KTA in Las Vegas,  Jan  1994. 
These kites can be made to execute this stunt regardless of their 
direction  of  flight and their elevation.  I have done it  on  a 
power  dive  and  while on a ground pass only 5  feet  above  the 
ground.  These kites are intended to be entry level kites and are 
priced   accordingly.   However,  If  I  was  to  go  back   into 
competition  (which  I  am not) I would  seriously  consider  the 
Gremlin as my Precision Kite.
