TT-25 ARC DE TRIOMPHE

Key Elements:

• simultaneous turn upwards
• formation formed by the kites during the half circle
  will be a straight line pointing towards <>0^7
• minimum spread between first and last kite during half circle 35°

Description:

• "IN" call:
  when all kites are flying downwards at <60
• Kites will make a sharp turn into horizontal flight at^7.
  The half circle described by each kite should have its centre at centre window at ^7, all kites maintain an even spacing throughout.
  All kites should start, as well as end the half circle simultaneously. After the arc each kite should return to the horizontal line at ^7 and follow the originally last kite with a sharp turn into the vertical line at >60.
• "OUT" call:
  when the (originally) last kite has reached ^45

[Explanation: spread between first and last kite is less than 35° on the diagram. This figure looks very distorted on a 2D grid. Spread should be as described!]
