Had a look at that Drachenstore site. Pretty impressive prices compared to the others. Now, I don't understand German too well. Can someone tell me if those prices are all inclusive? Vat and all that stuff... I suppose it's kite only prices...
And if I contact them would they be able to communicate in English...
Thanks
Ced

I have a G13 and love it. Some comments:
- It flys more like an inflatable than like S ARC.
- Flys best in the static loop with power strap adjusted to wind conditions
- Chicken loop great for quick depowering in gusts
- Great solo launching and landing!!! No assistance required
- No pumps!!!
- Smooth power through turn if in static loop
- Very stable..auto zenith..great recovery after penduluming a jump
- Very good in light wind. (155lbs, up wind at 8-9mph with flat board).
- G18 more powerful but no more low end. Just less sineing
- G13 most manuverable and best range.
If you wiegh less than 160 get the G13, it has a lot more range and no more low end. If you wiegh more you probably will have to go to a G15 or G18.
Have fun.

I don't think even I've heard that before. Some inflatables don't even fly best in the static loop!
If you wiegh less than 160 get the G13, it has a lot more range and no more low end. If you wiegh more you probably will have to go to a G15 or G18.
On the ArcUsers YahooGroup it seems the consensus is that if you're over about 160 you can benefit from the extra low end of the 18, & if you're over about 130 you can benefit from the low end of the 15. Of course a 13 is likely the nicest size to get to use, as long as you have enough wind.
