I have the 15.5 2016 Solo. Love that kite. It doesn't fall out of the sky. All the companies are copying the single strut design now. I don't see how you can make a 3 strut light wind kite. It's too heavy. You can adjust the lines to make the Solo faster also.

Wow. When I saw how little it takes to do a board, I just went out and bought some. I appreciate the offer. Take care.

Any chance you live in California? I'm going to build my first board for the main reason of saving money. Very cool of you to post this.
