VolksQuad takes to the Sky!

via New Tech Kites: Latest News on 5/31/10

After a full season of testing and development, it's finally here, the Volksquad, meaning "The People's" quad!

A product that is both friendly and advanced, the Volksquad is easy to assemble and launch, a joy to fly.

The first capable quad at this price point fully equipped with spectra lines and handles.

This is a great photo that ran in a recent edition of The Boston Globe. Too bad they couldn't get the parafoil kite into the photo.

Great Photo That Shows how a Parafoil Works

Here's a great photo that I found on Flickr that show how a parafoil operates.  Remember, a parafoil kite is simply a bunch of opened bags or cells sewn together.  Once air enters the cells they inflate and this give the kite structure and ultimately lift.  In the photo you can clearly see the open end of the parafoil cells.  You may have to click through to see the photo.
