Re: Effect of shorter lines to kite’s high end wind range

Well summarized... I do not go shorter than 19m for small kites and 22m for large kites... While I like to ride powered now. Too much impacts on low end, on jump timings and efficiency, specially if you like trying rotations with an unperfect kite driving... The only thing that would justify shorter...

Re: Peter Lynn Charger 15m (V1?)

Chargers, venom's and probably synergies are known to stay very watertight with time. Thick heavy cloth, so not prone to premature wear. Not a light wind machine... Regarding inflation, specially in light winds, a lot of users searching for ease the launch in light wind where using inflation system ...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

I tried out the Kestrel 8m after lengthening the B bridle as explained by funalex. It really improves the flight characteristics further, amazing.... :). The only small thing I remarked is that the ears fold in sketchy loops sometimes, but was super easy to recover each time. Same behavior in my ca...

Re: Alula in 12 can loop like a 10?

Answer depends on models I suppose.
I can just witness that loop is better than heavier kites on ocean rodeo aluula . Noticeable.

Re: Effect of shorter lines to kite’s high end wind range

When riding a small kite on long 25m lines in strong wind it's fairly noticeable that there is a bow in the lines. All that drag on the lines tends to keep the kite a little further back in the wind window. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it can smoothen out the inherent on/off feel of a small ki...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

very well summarized by Alex ; some of us "like" to tune foil kites and specially taking advantage of the good accessibility, opening and knowledge of Funalex, but it shall not "hide" that Kestrel is excellent out of the bag of 90% of usages ; it just opens door for sepecific use / curiosity of spec...

Re: Pansh Kestrel, high performance kite

yes indeed, you need to connect lines at each "arrival" of all 4 yellow lines; Indeed your connection was hugely over-powering the kite ; And side remark : if even with this connection mistake you have not suffered from instantaneous back stalling of the kite due to over-sheet-in, this confirm that ...
