I had my 1m Profoil out the other day in 28-32mph and didn't get any pull whatsoever, flew like a bat with a firecracker shoved up it but with no
power.:puzzled:
Tried it with loose brakes and tight brakes nothin.
I was using a set of heavy lines off my 12m North Vegas, it came with the fifth line upgrade and a spare quad lineset so before you ask no I wasn't
trying to fly the profoil with a depower setup:P.
I hear that the 1m has quite a bit of pull in nukein winds so my question is.
Is my definition of nukein waay off, or can the heavy lines affect it that much?heliboy50 - 12-9-2009 at 03:18 AM
Drag on a tiny kite bad. I saw a kid riding an ATB at NABX under a 1m profoil (way high in the window too- bet if it had been low in the power he
would have been cookin'.)kitejumper - 12-9-2009 at 04:40 AM
not sure what youre doing,but a 1m profoil at 28-32 will yard you violently---hope you converted it to 4 lines..........with kksWIllardTheGrey - 12-9-2009 at 04:55 AM
?? it came as a 4line from tedsfoils. just kite, bag, and handles no lines but I couldn't pass it up for $35. I think i got the last one too, day
after I ordered it the site went down.acampbell - 12-9-2009 at 05:10 AM
Yeah, you are basically flying it on chains. Flexifoil has a set for the small Sting series, 18m x 100/ 75 kg that would be good.Bladerunner - 12-9-2009 at 08:17 AM
I like my 2.5 profoil in those winds but gave away my 1.5m .
The bit of power it produced was very short lived as it zipped through the window. Flying it required a bunch of little power pushes as you snap it
about. The 2.5 produces more consistant power.
I think it is an insult to the Profoil to ship them with those terrible handles and no lines. Better to sell kite only. Those handles are the worst I
have ever seen.WIllardTheGrey - 12-9-2009 at 10:07 AM
