Liebe Kite & Friends Redaktion,
in Eurer letzten K&F Ausgabe 6-2008 wurde im Bluemoon 61/49 Test von Rolf Dietrich auf Seite 31 behauptet:
"Leider hat Blue Moon Fabrication nicht auf Kett und Schuss geachtet." und auf Seite 32 weiter:
"...die restliche Verarbeitung, mal von Kett und Schuss abgesehen, ..."
Ken McNeill von Bluemoon sieht das leider total anderst:
"With due respect to the reviewer [Rolf Dietrich], they're [K&F], quite simply, wrong. A lot of thought went into every aspect of the kite's design, especially the grain orientation.
I suspect that they expected the fabric grain to orient towards the center to control stretch by the wind. This would have been the wrong choice for this sail. You want the strength of the grain to support the edges, because that's where all of the stress and wear will be on this design. If the 61/49 is flown in the designed manner and wind range, you should see very little stretch to the center sections of the sail, and what little there might be will probably just make it fly better."
