Race Star+ 3.0

 
RaceStar/ 3.0qm (patent pending)

The RaceStar+ (RS +) is a logical further development of the successful RS. Also the RS+ has no profile or diagonal ribs on the under sail area.
This guarantees barrier-free the fastest air distribution on the underside of a single skin kite, so that a stable bow shape is immediately formed when starting the RaceStar+.This design feature achieves remarkable dimensional stability even in gusty wind conditions, as well as when parking at the wind window edge.

An optimized airfoil again increases the lift properties without negatively changing the depower potential.

The high aspect ratio of 6.1, as well as the partial flex keels (FXK - patent pending) again increase the very good features for upwinding.

The proven mix of stiff BODAPRE lines (diameter 0.7mm) and dyneema lines (diameter 0.9mm) significantly reduce air resistance,so that a sportier flight behavior is achieved.

The RS + can be started stress-free without additional person from all positions (front and reverse start), because super fast, the required air flow acts.The landing can also be done without another helper,because the laminar airflow can be efficiently eliminated.

The RaceStar+ has maximum light-wind characteristics through his single skin construction, is crash, snow & flying sand insensitive and the pack size, as well as the weight of the RS+ is extremely low (643g).

The depower effect on the RaceStar is achieved via a variable angle of attack, which looks more like a tube kite than a double skin kite. The Trailing Edge Shapers (TES) on the tip affect the back pressure on the underside of the kite at a shallower angle of attack. Thus, the single skin is kept stable and flutter-free for as long as possible.

In the depower state, the RaceStar+ is fully controllable , there is a slight residual tension on the control lines. This also allows an easy reverse start over the train on just one control line.

Despite the high aspect ratio of the RS+, loops can easily fly over the tip rotation or center rotation.

Very pleasant bar holding forces enable for long and stress-free kiting.

In principle, the RaceStar+ flies with any 4-line control bar, preferably with a front line safety.
Each RS+ is prepared for use with a 5th line, the FAS (Front Area Safety) can be retrofitted if necessary.

The RaceStar+ is delivered in a practical soft bag as "KITE only".
