I tested Sonic-FR1 15 and 18 neck to neck with 4 friends. And wind was low barely planing with door-tt. 18 did not bring any benefits for twintip freeriding, all four of us independently preferred 15m because of increase agility for dynamic flying and power generation. And we think added span (=lift increase) with added inertia because of increased kite volume on 18 is not worth it. Kite accelerates and turns slower so it is harder to maintain kite flying speed.windrider1 wrote: ↑Tue May 23, 2017 2:02 amI had a 15m lotus and then sold that for an 18m speed 5 because it just wasn't doing it for me in under 11knts . the 18 starts in 8knts all the way up to 15knts then I switch to 12m . My most used kites are 18m and 12m.
