Lei users were ... astonished...

Show off.

LEI should see this more and maybe they will switch. Dump the pump.

[/quote] I am thinking that if you release a normal closed cell twin skin kite on to a 5th line with fully pressurized cells in stiff winds, it may rip the middle seam in half as it suddenly folds in two under pressure. my hyperlinks which are dual mode kites, the instructions warn not to operate th...
