1990s sort of date. ( I remember interesting THINGS, but not times or dates) 
I can recall reading about this kite with great interest, as I was into kite making at the time. And met the maker and saw it fly at a Teston fly in later on. Very impressive envelope, 360 degrees in light wind.
It was very curved in it's plan form, and from the side it was more like a flying wing than a regular stunt kite. And as mentioned, twin skinned to produce a properly smooth airfoil.
It was really interesting, and worked well, but was complex and therefore quite expensive.
Thanx in advance for any info peeps.
