Hi all,

With the smart bar upgrade on my 12 07 naish boxer I can adjust the kite's power so it can stall with the bar pulled right in or not on the fly.

Just wondering what the best trim for the kite is to get maximum lift when jumping? From what I can see it's just before stall point although it's hard to tell as things are happening pretty quickly.
I've been flying in on/off wind lately here in Mackay so it's hard to guage these things - my Ozone is very different and you don't seem to fly near the stall point.

Cheers

Hey Glennno,

Yeah, you got it mate, the maximum boost for jumping will be achieved if you trim your kite so that when fully sheeted in it won't stall, but is a little before this point. If you reach the stall point the kite loses power.

Cheers D I've jumped with it past stall point and the other way and can't see much difference although the stall point seems to change with wind strength - it's been so up and down lately here I've been adjusting the depower quite a lot.

Cheers.
