After posting question for advice on getting air, I attended the Ferry meadows kite fest in Peterborough today.
Wind, I was informed was between 15 and 18 mph. Thought I would get the 4.9 out and give it a try. Without moving or making any effort I was lifted vertically about 10 feet of the ground and back down gently. What a buzz. After that I tried a few techniques that I had read on here. OH BOY.I nearly had a rodents nose in my undies !!!!!!! I want more, more more.....

You must be a lightweight :D Thats about when I start getting lofted with my 8.5. You will want more more more all the time. I can be way overpowered, getting slammed, and in the back of my mind Im thinking..... why isnt this thing pulling any harder???? Glad you had some fun, but just be careful.
