Renifleur de Thermique, No. 3 and 4

With a wingspan of 2.45m, this kite, which translates as "Thermal Sniffer" is based on the original design by Jörg Rüther & Hennes Kurbjuhe. The final aesthetics and structure were modified in order to get closer to the design of Otto Lilenthal's planes. From the slightest breeze to the strongest breeze, the kite's flight was exceptional.
