Cayman 6-stack

I've posted before about Caribbean Kite Company's Cayman kites basically being Peter Powell Stunters with a different brand name. And, in addition to one in the older 'chevron' colour scheme, we also have a pair of Caymans, in the newer colour scheme. So I wasn't at all looking for more Caymans ... but ... a set of six Caymans popped up on eBay, for a total price that made my Buy-It-Now finger get a life of its own ...

The six Caymans came as a stack of three, a stack of two, and a single kite. Rather than keep that configuration, I decided to stack them all together into a 6-stack.


They came without tails, so I got myself six modern white tails to match the central white stripe on the sail.

Flying them in 10-14mph wind was really good fun. They pulled solidly, but nothing we couldn't handle




They look great together, and the white tails really work well; judge for yourself!


Of course, flying a 6-stack of 'Peter Powells' has one big drawback ...


Yep, six tails to flatten and roll up!
