Blade 11 4.9mt upward lift

fortybutnaughty - 11-6-2005 at 04:53 AM

Hi all. I am still alive after learning the hard way how to fly my blade. I am now in full control of the beast, with killers attached for safety. I am getting some big slides but can't seem to get much upwards lift. This may be due to too little wind ? What should I be doing to get some air.
Thanks to you all for past advice.

To get air, you have to be dug in stationary. If you slide forward while the kite is going up, you cant get any lift.

:frog: fortybutnaughty what are killers do they keep you from taking off to high or do they make sure you dont let go of your kite?:frog:
