I'm curious about kites for the 15's. I see allot of discussion but I haven't seen any comments about the lack of a back-stay and if a runner is needed. I'm not sure if the dropped aft shrouds are sufficient, or if only up to a predetermined wind force. I wouldn't mind flying one myself too but I have just always assumed there wasn't enough mast support. Even flown from the fractional height of the head-stay I have tended to think the forward pressure from one of these would be too great. Ashley T. M15 - h# 478 Morgan Hill, CA
