FI-12 LAZY EIGHT

Key Elements:

• flying the infinity in the right proportions, with a minimum width of 80°
• flying the infinity in an even speed (backwards)
• "standing", tip landing

Description:

• "IN" call:
  when the kite is at ^0<40, resting on a wingtip in a "standing" position
• After about 22° vertical flight the kite turns 90°counter clock wise (c.c.w.) and enters the 'eight' figure, flying backwards. The diameter of each arc is approximately 30°, with the bottom of the 'eight' at ^8.
  The point where the two straight lines intersect is at ^22 height. The kite "leaves" the 'eight' figure at ^22<40, the same point where it entered, after again performing a 90 c.c.w. turn.
• "OUT" call:
  when the kite has flown downwards, has landed on a wingtip and is still "standing".
