Just a thought...
I like all the other kites that have the cool graphics on the "belly" (don't know the correct term for it) of the kite as well, but not the PL
Arcs...I'm tired of looking at the some what mono color belly everytime I look at them while flying. I want to see the phantom and the snake when I'm
flying the kite!!
The Arc's looks pretty symetrical to me, so could you fly it flipped with the graphic side on the bottom?

well the inversion usually happens by accident and you can control it but it does not fly the same inverted. It's not really symmetrical and the
internal webbing is at the bottom of each rib running inside the bottom skin that take the load and if you took the ribs out you would see a
difference from top to bottom. You can fly it inverted to get back to home base and land it to correct or in many cases you can fly it off to the
side, soft nose downland, run forward to have it lay back and then air will get under to relaunch either taking out the inversion or making it twice
as bad.

I second Markite's comments. When I used to fly arcs it's happened to me on occasion where it would invert without line tangles. Being inside out it
flew well enough to get back to base camp but only in a survival type of mode. I wouldn't call it a fun way to fly.

lol, I thought most likely it won't work, and it does look odd from that picture.

I rigged my venoms (the first kites i owned) with the front lines on the backline attachments and the control lines on the front for about 3 sessions
before some kind soul pointed it out!!!
It seemed to fly fine but I did wonder why the depower didn't work! not that I really understood depower or anything else about kites at that point!
you should look where you'er going and not at the kite anyway :P

I can't. I've had a lot of practice trying, though.
