Rolf,
The stays stay.
Why would you remove them?

The stays are taught when the pole is out and taught when retrieved.

Work it all out and see what you get. It may not work on a Tornado but on the Blade F16 the numbers all fall into place.

Can you tell me the length of pole, distance from main beam to bow and distance from front of the mid pole snuffer to main beam and distance between the C/L of the Tornado hulls?
I would be interested to see if I could adapt my design to the T.
If it works it will be single line operation. The pole goes out, the kite goes up. The kiye comes down the pole comes in. JUst the one line.

I made a carbon mast. The deflection tests were spot on to what I was after too.

This is a great sport there is just so much to play with.

Regards,
Phill

There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
