2 different kites with the same panel layout.

yeh, I saw these pics over a year ago - they were a prototype that didn't go into production - the ones that are seen are probably the prototypes that were put into testing...

My dad once told me "you don't look at the mantle piece while your stoking the fire" moral of the story why worry what it looks like if it goes good.

Ps. He was talking about girls not kites
