The new, to us, smaller parafoil can fly in much higher wind than the larger kites.
We have yet to fly all three together.
(The three parafoils were 'left behind' as was noted after realising this that the car was full!)

The Four Diamonds kite has been re-framed but did not get to fly at Cervia 2025 because of the consistent light winds this year.
The late Delta has also been re-framed for light winds and a test flight has not yet taken place.
The Decorators Team Kites will be taken and there is a possibility that we will have four fliers so if conditions are right there may be a team flight.
