In Peter Rieleit's "Leistungsstarke Lenkdrachen zum
Nachbauen. (Efficient Stunt Kites to Build, Ravensburger
Verlag ISBN 3-473-42286-X) there are plans for a soft
stunt-kite called "QUIRL" (Much like a Flexifoil without the
spar.)

In the plans it says to make the two sheets of ripstop for
the upper and lower surface *both* 63 cm high.

Isn't that an error? 63 cm is not enough to make it all the
way along the - curved - lower edge of the profile!

Has anyone tried building this kite? Is this the only error,
or has my unsharp sight missed something else?

Good windz!
