A plastic bag can be looped like that when overpowered. That's not the kite, it's Youri's mahoosive b***s.

i guess the only real way to find out how an RPM loops is to do it yourself. Hope I get some good wind this summer when I demo the little RPM's.

Yank enough for ya?

come on ..... check the kite angle comparing to the sea level .... more than 60 degrees .... and the yank ... what yank .... check the distance travelled horizontal .....

RPMs arent made for megaloops....massive and impressive at least...

everybody who has the skills can jump high and loop a kite...what feeling and yank you get is always depended from the kite.... ask the guys who are watching from the shore and know how real a megaloop is.

The newer RPM's on 20m lines does the job very good and for sure you can pull a megaloop with it. My own loops are just kiteloops but they go more the fine:



And for the topic starter, you just have to jump high enough.

Been flying kites for long enough to see that RPMs dont jump well and don't loop well.

Not saying that they can't jump and loop, they just aren't the kites that SS make them out to be.
