Does anyone have an opionion of the vented Tramontana?  I just made a vented
kite with the vent size similar to the Tramontana (quite large) and was 
wondering if I'm going to need to do some patching up.

I measured as best I could the surface area of my vents at 2 square feet, going
>From the tee to the leading edge and down toward the trailing edge.  To big?

It sure is easier to make kites for light wind.
