In the picture most of the kites seems to have "spinsocks" for stabilization. I've used the same on my Stratoscoop 3 (30sq') and my Flowform 30. Is this what most folks are using? Does anyone use the standard "dunce-cap" type drogue? If so what size works for you? Rather than a "spinsock", I've flown my new 60 with a drogue made from a standard unbrella! It worked quite well (at least the one time that I flown it) and I was able to find an umbrella that color matched my kite!
