Pansh Ace 4.5 Jumps

Hi, i will use this thread for the jumps on my 4.5 Ace, the camera phone quality isnt good but i hope to film with a better camera in the future, in these vids the wind was blowing 1 to 12 constant so it wasnt very strong but the Ace loved it and so did i.

I always hear about people having problems with the Ace luffing at the edge of the window and after jumps, i have flown my ace enough now to have learnt how to not make it collapse after jumps, obviously always redirect, if you forget to the Ace will let you know about it :D

I cant wait to get a bigger Ace because i love the Raw feel that it gives me, i flew a few Blades and they feel too sane and stable ifthat makes any sense?.

Anyway heres a few to start off with, this is my progressive jumping thingy bob.





Sorry about the camera phone quality

Bro, those were great jumps man. Brings back memories of my 5 meter Ace. I miss that kite allot.

that 4.5 will get you some serious hang time especially in stable 20-25mph winds. Dont let people tell you is a crap kite because it not, they are just stubborn idiots.

Such a great wing, I plan on buying more Aces when I can afford to dish out the Green. I really want the 12, 9, and 5.

Fly Smart!

yeah i started to notice that on mine to, i think its because of bridal strech. Ive seen tutorials on this forum on how to fix it to brand new, it only involves implying a few knots on the right bridal strings, i think its definantly worth the research. it could be your pansh lines too, check to make sure they are even? Um, yeah most likely it's the bridal.
good luck man

if you have to work the ace up to the zenith you're not powered up, or the wind is turbulent, very likely in the 1 to 12 winds you describe.

next time you have trouble working the kite up to zenith try slacking the brake lines right off, if it sort of flags out and refuses to power up and kind of hangs in the air dead downwind and about halfway up the window the wind is turbulent and you just have to wait it out. turbulent wind is messy airflow that won't allow your kite to develop enough constant speed to fly well unless you work it back and forth. you can get it to fly ok on this but it won't be jumpable until the wind is good and clean again.

often when the winds are gusty in my area i'll just let the kite flag out like that, as soon as the wind smooths out and begins to power up i send it off to the side, up a bit, and across to see if the clean gust will last long enough to get me a jump.

both the flag-out and the jump on the clean-gust power-up work best in lower winds on my 8, but it gets a bit gnarly in really gusty winds on my 5. the more intense gusts at higher wind speeds, the increased kite speed, and the lack of reliable float (esp. compared to the 8) all work together to make gusty winds really nervous powered up on my 5, less so on the 8 because it's all a bit calmer and slower. I'm sure your 4.5 would flag out the same in turbulent winds, but going straight for lift in the clean gusts might be a bit riskier.

around 15 mph or so on the 5 is when i stop having to run about so much to get a good jump out of it... sounds like you've flown those winds but haven't videoed it yet...

nice vids, thanks for sharing, yes the phonecam sucks bad but the jumps are clear...

sorry to jump in with the advice b4 the sunshine, hope you don't mind....

and yes if you didn't get hurt in 20 mph on grass you'll for sure survive 20-25 on sand... :evil:

my blade is sane and stable, i love that when i'm powered up enough to get head high by doing a jump without a run.

my aces all love to suck sand on reverse relaunches, btw, i don't do them anymore unless i've got enough wind to do them easily. takes longer to get sand out of the kite than to walk up and flip it over, in low winds no worries about the kie loose on the beach.

vid 3 is my favorite. nice stuff, thanks for sharing....
