Quality is reflected in the price, these kites are cheap...... but boy do these kites work in the correct hands!

At first you will break it by giving it two much top steer, which will cause it to fall out of the sky and smash into the ground...

But with practice and patience you might even master the skill which is a basic requirement to flying these beasts...

Mainly controlled on brakes, these are a truly awesome machine, providing high manoverability, easy stopping , and a serious amount of power available anywhere in the window...

It is essential to fly these with a knotted leach line(knots 4-5inches apart) i.e

.........X...............X..........

These two knots will help stop the leech line from sliding too far through the harness, which should help those terrible crashes... Also the leech line must be 1inch further down the handles, than the top line as this provides just enough tension on the brakes.. to balance the kite..

With these useful tips, flying should become an instant pleasure...

Not just anyone can fly these kites, as they are not forgiving whatso ever...They are designed for kite flyers ....most people can easily fly a foil...

Once mastered you will become fully aware of the many advantages:

They can be flown when soaking wet....The upwind performance is truly remarkable.A 4m2 will pull like a 5m.They have a large wind range, therefore a 4m will pull like mule in under 10mph of wind!They leave a messy turbalant trail behind, making it difficult for others to catch you...Very sensitive to control, can stop on a sixpense, will turn very fast and just keep pulling all the way..THEY ARE USED AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL, along with Libre etc!!They are untrendy, but then again it doesn't allways pay to keep up with the Jones's.

Disadvantages:

Can be a pain to store.Packing is a pain, but you get used it..They will break, on heavy crashes, bad packing etc, but cheap and easy to repair..People will laugh at your wierd untrendy jelly fish kites, but ignore the mockery as it will soon be distant behind you, as you power your way through the pack!!Only suitable for KITE flyers as they require skill to fly.
