Re: Dog Stake Rig
So I have been working on a second version using 4 pulleys. I have the majority of it roughed in. The problem with the first one was the wraps in the line getting to close to the rig, then the lines would climb off the pulleys. As long as there isn't too many problems with line in/out interference ...

Re: Dog Stake Rig
You guys are right, no matter how the lines are situated they will rub against each other or the pulley. I am hoping to get the pulley polished and waxed to the point that there is very little friction between it and the lines. About the same as having a twist or two in the lines during normal flyi...

KITES ON ICE
I have never flown an indor kite, but I allways tought that it would be easier to do it on ice, since, while skating, one can create more wind speed, when going backwards.
