I have not made the npw-ha so I am not sure how it compares to the npw9.

the HA must be better for buggy, becaus higher aspect ratio kites normally generate better lift and power. but it might be (dont know) that the higher
aspect ratio causes less stability, wich is bad if you want to go upwind.
i am very interested to see a nasawing with a stabilized leading edge. stabilised using tubes or carbon rods... not massive stuff, just to add a bit
more stiffness and avoid nose collapses.
NPW9B OR NPW-HA

i might wxperiment with something like that but has anyone done it before to help me along ?

Did you give the HA a try? I've just finished a 3m one. Very different to the 9b. Hits the apex, very agile, but needs careful setting-up. Mine was
initially too twitchy and needed a good wind to fly.
