The number one way to tune any foil kite is adjust Z
Any tips for knowing when to shorten z and when to lengthen it?

Im looking specifically to stop wing tip tucking when going downwind. this kite has flown reasonably well and only recently started doing this downwind.

Thanks.

Re: Levitaz releases its R5 design for Olympia 2024

Wanted to stop watching the video when he talked about a patent. Spotz came up with it. Just say “ an adjustable rear wing like Jerome gave the sport” and that’s great. Or nothing at all. Patents in hydrofoils make me think of when mango used to hang around here.... I’ll not be buying a levataz

Any info on what size kites they are using in 7-8 knots?

Re: Buying used Ozone foil kites in 2017

Get whatever you can for a price you are comfortable paying.

Re: North launches a foil kite
