Just saw it in a cat. and was wondering? > The frame of BlackBird One is quite normal, made with Skyshark 5P rods. Stiffness is the religion of Maxime Fellion, BBOne designer, and for thid purpose, frame can be re-inforced with optional rods you just put inside the normal one. Spine, leading edges and bottom spreaders receive extra 6mm carbon rods, so you can use BBOne with strong wind, it still stays stiff. This kite is designed specially for team and precision, so constant behaviour is **important**. On extra personal demand, Maxime can make a model precisely designed for heavy wind, ask him for.
