Single Line Kite
I was in a single engined cessna that flew in to a Kite Line and the nylon got wrapped around the propellor?
This was years and years ago but I was wondering if that could have been dangerous
I was with a flying instructor and we flew to a beach and buzed it and then flew the thirty minutes back to the flight school
When we landed he looked at the propellor and there was a lot nylon string wrapped around the cylinder holding the propellor
He said we must have ‘caught’ the nylon string when we buzzed the beack of perhaps when we descended into the aerodrome at the end of the flight
Could this have caused the propellor/engine to fail?
You wouldn’t think so, Nylon is thin, but it would also depend on how long the piece of nylon was.

2、Leading edge inflatable kite
A leading edge inflatable kite or LEI is a single skin kite with inflatable bladders providing structure. It is useful as a power or Traction Kite. These kites are flown using 2, 4 or 5 control lines and a bar. (See also: kite control systems) A LEI is a great kite for water use because the inflated bladders cause it to float on the water surface. A LEI can sit on the water for an indefinite time and still be relaunched because unlike a double skin kite there are no chambers that can fill with water. Generally used for kitesurfing, leading edge inflatable kites come in many different sizes from approximately 5-18 square metres. Based on their design Leading Edge Inflatable kites can be broken down into three categories: C- kite, Hybrid kite, and Bow kite.1
C Kites are the oldest style of LEI used to kiteboard. They come with four lines, and have the option of an additional 5th line for safety. The main difference between C kites and other LEI styles is that they do not have any lines that support the leading edge of the kite (called bridles). The lines on a C- kite attach to the four corners of the kite.
Hybrid kites are a cross between C- kites and Bow kites. Like bow kites, they incorporate bridles to support their leading edge. These bridles support kite and enable designers to experiment with different arc profiles – some Hybrids can have a very flat arc, while some can look similar to a C- kite. Individual characteristics of the Hybrid kites vary depending on how similar they represent one of the other two kite styles. The defining difference between a Hybrid and Bow kite is the shape of the trailing edge. The trailing edge on a Hybrid kite is convex, whereas that of a Bow is concave.
All of the Bow kites advantages are because of its concave trailing edge. This design feature changes the shape of the kite’s trailing edge as it flies, requiring that the leading edge flatten to match, resulting in a much flatter looking kite. The bridles on the kite restrict the leading edge and hold it in line with the rest of the kite. In addition, the concave trailing edge enables the kite to be sheeted out further than a traditional C- kite, which is why a Bow kite can be nearly 100% depowered.
