Since it's readable on any screen and of wide interest, at 32 Kb, I think it's worth posting (even is *I'm* not particularly interested...). You should make sure that kevin@hawaii.edu notices them, as they should be worthy of a place in the rec.kites archive. However, there are other (neater) ways to look at this stuff. The Kiteflight program (on Stunt Kites 1.0) contains the manoevers. They have also been converted to colour graphics under HTML by Simo and are available on the Kite Flier's Site: http://www.kfs.org/kites. (There is a new update to this that I should be applying today, if I get a chance...)

Those pictures would be great to have available prior to our local competition. If you don't mind others using them could they be put in one of the web sites or in the archive? Text is so easy for anyone to use regardless of their access to the net and the software they own.
