Just put a 12 metre up today for the first time. Light winds (5-10knots). I have only flown a Switchblade before and was surprised at the size of the kite. It feels smaller than the switchblade but obviously isn't!! Much more responsive too. The short lines (20m) mean you have to sin it more but it feels great. The power zone is a lot higher than the switchblade. Can't wait to really give it a work out.
Bar pressure is quite light. The shape is almost identical to the switchblade. I like to single inflation but still will have to think about how to get it just right. I think I'll have to pump it up harder initially to get enough air into the struts then let a bit out of the leading edge. Any thoughts on this from anyone???
