Doubts & discrepancies

Uncertain readings of the diagram or the official text, and disagreements between sources, to be validated. The animation follows the reading we chose, which is not an official interpretation.

• douteIN and OUT at ^5: the wing is in the air, just above the ground, not resting on it.

Common to the whole family of figures

• douteOverall speed: we chose a constant speed of 15 units per second (about 4.4 m/s with 37 m lines), without any flight measurement. The ISK requires a constant speed (§II.V) without giving a value.
• douteKite size: our assumption is a wing 2.30 m wide, i.e. 8 grid units (1 unit ≈ 0.29 m with 37 m lines), with the proportions of the Hadzicki wing drawn in kite-physics; the dual-line wing has the same span. For the reference competition, we only found the scale of the grid (ISK §II.C: about 0.3 m for 38 m), not a kite size. At this size, the wings of a team overlap at times (MT 01, 02, 06 and 09). Lead: a smaller kite.
• douteWe added a brief stop (0.25 s) before and after each rotation on the spot, and at each corner where the wing goes from one translation to another with a different leading-edge orientation. It does not appear in the list of steps, and the rules do not ask for it: they only mention the stops marked on the diagram or cited in the text.
