The Shuttle is a classic Sled - combined with a traditional Parafoil. The flat single skin areas of the sled provide strong lift even in light wind and the profiled areas provide flight stability in lengthways direction and in gusts. The kite has no rigid rods at all, which reduces the packing size and weight sensationally.
The extraordinary shape is an eye-catcher in itself, but its real purpose is to lift any kind of line laundry, cameras etc.
Comes with two drouge-tails for stabilization in less than perfect conditions. Flying line is not included.
