The Disy ring was tested directly inline with the lifter kite.

Configuring this way I had no direct control over the tension in the rotation axis... (actually I had a light back line behind which could take the back end down if needed)

Anyway, Here's the "proto promo" / test vid... I just happen to have been brought up and live on a gorgeous island. So handy for backgrounds
