So you ask, what does this chart and graph mean? Well,
consider this: if you currently have your single line
kite sparred with the Epoxy G50 and you want to make your
kite lighter without sacrifising stiffness, by viewing
the chart it becomes obvious that you can drop down to a
graphite 2100 to reduce weight AND gain a little
stiffness at the same time! Dropping further to the Pro
Spar Comp #15 will save you even MORE weight and increase
stiffness further.
