I just saw 2 video's of your kiteloops.

In these 2 video's the kite is also not that low ( maybe 35 or 40 degrees).

Yes I can see the forward drag but I've seen bigger loops (also on a C4).
I think to have the best out of a kite, you just have to do more sessions with it.
For example I have tried a Torch 6m also (just one session) and my C4 5m was
better in the loops, but I'm sure if I did more sessions with the Torch, it will loop about the
same, if not better.
