stacked chargers


I met Steve (Staper123) at surfside this past friday for a kitesurfing session. The wind died down a bit after lunch or so. Steve decided to take advantage of the lower winds and stack his kite. He was buggying with an 8m charger and then kitesurf with the 12m. Since the wind wasn't enough for the 12m , he decided to stack the 2. Here's the result.






US-00 ( That\'s right baby .. double O!!)
Engines:
8m charger, 10m Scorpion, 15m phantom, 19m venom, 5m npw9, 8m npw-ha, 9m switchblade , 14m Ozone Catalyst



Rides:
VTT Black Widow, VTT Stinger Race, Flexboardz Haize, Trampa , Spleene HT Door 59, MTH custom twin tip

Was a great day at the beach.... will have to try stacking again on my next trip. Never could get Scorpions to fly right stacked, but chargers went up on first attempt.



What do you do with your foils?

Charger 8, 12, 19
Scorpion 10, 16
And other foils...

Pretty cool ! Sthg I have in mind my self for some time now, as I have various sizes of Chargers.
Incidentally, would you have any close up pic of the way the two kites were connected ? That would be great as I've never done so before.
And what about how it felt ? Was it comparable in pull to your 19 ? Did it turn slower / faster ? Is launching any different ?
Many thanks in advance

I guess you just used a set of extensions that came with your nav bar? Nicely done. Makes me think about stacking some Phantom IIs when they make it in.

So technically Steve's stack acts like a 20-meter kite (in terms of power and lower end capability)?
