Freeol LX Diagram

Notes
  • All 4 wings are symmetrical.
  • On the real kite the carbon spars are on the back and the bridles on the front - they are shown together on the diagram for clarity.
  • The line around the Freevol LX is an exact square.
  • Flying lines attach to points f1 & f2 (and of course same for other side).
