The Skyfoil is the Flow Form from Jim Rowland's book.

It is good flyer. We are using it as a pilot kite for the Manta Ray.
It is a good lifter. Jim recommends 300 pound line.

It is about 6 feet across and about 4 feet deep.

It's width makes it difficult to launch alone or from a kayak. If the interest is in traction, we should consider the 50 to 60 square foot Flow Form.

It is a good project for someone who has done at least one soft kite project already.
There are some wierd seams that caught me by surprise when I made mine.
I had to rip out two seams and do them over, just before I sewed the back closed.

First time Foil makers should opt for the Whack Chop parafoil instead.
