KAPilots are new but will soon emerge as one of the most significant and usable kites in every serious KAPper's bag. Simple and straight-forward, KAPilots aren't fancy, they are just effective.
Peter Lynn developed Pilots as "sky anchors" for his big inflatables. You can use them to help stabilize a larger showpiece, lift larger spinsocks or inflatables. They go up easy and stay up in the strongest or lightest winds.
Although a great lifter it wasn't perfect for KAP. Brooks Leffler did a lot of fine tuning on the original and ended up with a soft kite for KAP that has an unbelieveable good low wind performance: the KAPilot.

KAPpers TIP: Pilots are a bit on the wallowy side without a tail, i.e., they can get some rotational oscillation going. That's how they fly reliable and strong-pulling in most windconditions but it might cause your rig to swing more than you want. The solution is simple: fly it with a (fuzzy) tail. The stability of a Sutton FlowForm will also benefit from being flown with one.
