Love my CrazyFly Sculps 2019 models. Great build quality and very stable kites.
Have flown 12m hyper and as a high aspect kite is slower in the air, but easier to boost with longer, floating hang time.
However, if you want a 12m for lighter wind range / low end the Sculp has more low end grunt. Can get going with big board in 10 knots on flat water.
Range for me on normal TT with Sculps
12m 12-22 knots
9m 18-30 knots
7m 28-38 knots

anyone noticed some jelly fishing with the Hyper? got me a new 11m. but it flies like a seagull! Even in a jump the tips are bouncing up and down like a wounded grey goose. Pumped it really hard, got a equal 4 lines Ozonebar. wasnt a great session

Depowered?
My 2019 9m does it when it's not pumped hard enough, but only when depowered (and I rarely depower, so it's not really a problem. Got enough range on the bar anyway). No problems with my 2020 7 and 12.

Strange... I'm riding a custom bar, mostly the same as Ozone... You might want to check the lengths, maybe the pump meter shows too much pressure, and you can try emailing CF, they're very helpful.

Make sure you check your strut hoses, something similar happened to my 11m 2020 hyper it had a slow leak due to a loose strut hose. Tips will move a bit on gusty conditions specially on bigger sizes but the kite should not jellyfish. I decided to go for the 12m 2022 sculp and it has loads of low end grunt and waaaay quicker, deffo better suited for light conditions
