Phanny SoopaStack
Have any of you successfully stacked arcs....? I know most have seen the photo of the stacked Phannies. They only did three. Rich (SHMH) and I were
kicking around the possibilities of a SOOPASTACK with a full quiver !! :wee:
Think it can be done....??? :puzzled:
What order to stack 'em...???
What length extensions....???

Flexiblade and I stacked a 9 and 12 at SOBB in 2010. We stacked the 12 on top and the 9 on bottom but the 9 flew too fast. We reversed it and it
worked better. If I were to do it again I would makes some adjustment pigtails on the rear lines with many knots so it could be tuned better between
the kites.
The video is on my youtue site.

16/13....large on top, smaller below
the trick is to depower the top larger kite to speed it up. if all the kites rigged the same. you just go up a knot closer to the kite to depower
it.
run all up about four inches on the front leaders. it only will fly and turn as fast as the TOP kite depowered. bout 8-10mph

What PHREE said. Plus shorter stack lines also help to stiffen and sync things up. I used 3m lines on my 15/10 G2 stack and got it to the point of
freakishly in sync. 
That's with a 21m lineset too.

The fact that it can be done, and that there is discussion about it being done just once again illustrates just how unique and amazing arcs really are
