============
The "holy man" was imagined by Nicolas Chorrier a french KAPer living in India, crafted by Robert Brasington in Tasmania (with the help of Peter Van Erckel), fine tuned by Jim Day in Seattle, first tested in Seaside Oregon at the AKA convention.
Back in october I wrote "A wonderful kite, extremely stable, with a great lifting power and without too much pull."
Today with 15 knots on the ground and probably 20 to 25 knots at 60 meters, i would still say "A wonderful kite, extremely stable, with a great lifting power AND lots of pull..."
The Holyman is 3 meters high X 2, 15 meters wide. I still need to install and fine tune the elastic bridle.
