My guess would be 8 to 12 knots.

I have two Connect bars, I really like them (but have removed the 5th line/safety) and no issues whatsoever after years of use. Regarding the 13 m2, yes I would probably find a really long bar, as it is a slow dog just like the 11 m2. And agree, double skin kites works so much better when you get ab...

True, 15 knots is a 4 m2 Peak for average weights, a 5 is too big. But having depower trim CAN be omitted easily IMO, if you, like many, has a bar for each Peak kite, or set your bridles correctly, because of their short throw. Having it rigged twoline so no depower at all, thats not for me, but int...

What do you mean, "Kite webpage"???

It is always a tricky one.... Gong has top notch foils, excellent in every way and also frontrunners in many aspects.

So this is not an Aprils fool joke, or?

Just some notes from behind the scenes... . Thanks for the info. While you are here, a couple comments/requests if I may - from a very long time NKB and current DTK user with 5 Neos and Neo SLS & Wam and Whip and 1 Unit dlab and 2 Unit user: 1) why do you keep using the Airport Valve together with ...

I dont know what it is... When painted it can be difficult to find out. BUT, it doesnt matter, use epoxy for repairs (with or without fibreglass) as it sticks well on both polyester and epoxy, is stronger and better in every way. Also, IF the core (most likely not, but a few are) is styrofoam or sim...

Thanks, I didnt see the measurements.

So I was only partly correct, the 86 is thicker yes but not only at the base, it is 13 % thicker at fuselage and 18 % thicker close to base, than the 85.

That explains, so more draggy but a lot stiffer/stronger and same material.
