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!

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.
