Hi all,
I bought my son (11 year old) a wee trainer kite at the start of the summer and he's really enjoying it. I already had a land board from about 15 years ago when I used to go down west sands at St Andrew's with my Beamer 5.
I've now bought myself a Flexifoil Blade 2 (6.4m) and buggy off eBay and am wanting to get back into kiting again. As the Beamer was flown with handles, and the Blade is on a bar, I'm a bit confused with the set-up.
There are four lines but the middle two are connected to the outside two with a small bit of cord. Hope its clear what lines are what.
When I had my Beamer, It was 2 power lines and 2 brake lines. Pulling on the middle lines, which I assumed would be the brake lines puts the kite higher up in the sky? Is this what you would call a depowerable kite?
Also, the chicken loop doesn't seem to have any kind of safety release so not sure about hooking into a harness.
The seller said they used it with a buggy and would be keen to do so myself.
Any suggestions/info/tips would be happily received.
