 Wow - I figured it would be hard to coordinate two kites. It did seem to go better with only one. Reminds of when I tried to fly
two kites in a "train." I managed to make it work but only with 2 kites of the same design and it wasn't that easy. I was also using one of the most
docile designs I ever built. When you were flying with 2 kites it looked like they might be different models. While two kites might give more power
- one would probably be faster than the other so could be a problem. Cool to see you doing it though.
I was also thinking another challenge would be for one guy to fly the kite and the other to steer to bug.....need really good communication for that
work.....
Anyway, I love seeing different ideas being tried out so keep it up.

Thanks for the comments people and sorry for my late response.
My mother passed away on the 4th of Feb so my world grinded to a halt.. 
I'm picking up the pieces and trying to get used to a world without
my mother wich who I had a close relationship with..
@Randy: the 'problem' that Richard is still a novice.
Riding a sideride with 2 more seasoned pilots allready
resulted in well over 70km/h..
And as 1 flying and the other steering, we did that in the tandem
wich was really fun to do.
Keep u posted with more sideride-run!!

Sorry to hear about your mother passing away. It is a tough time. I lost my mother in April 21. My condolences.

it wasn't completely unexpected due to health-issues.
But when the police stood at my door at 07:00am
