The kite will need a certain amount of tweaking before it will perform well. Firstly you will probably need to reduce the length in the main lines as
the brakes will be too short, I found that reducing the length of the main lines by about 20-30cm was sufficient. Next will be the manufacture and
fitting of power rings, this is an essential modification that connects the main and break lines via a loop; this will keep the kite in a curved shape
rather than flattening out with the pull from slack break lines. Once these have been fitted the kite will fly faster and will pull harder.
No matter what I did to this kite it was always unstable in comparison to slightly more refined or lower aspect ratio kites, I often found myself
picking the kite up after it has suddenly lost pressure from within. This means the kite is not at all suited to gusty conditions. Also, any large
objects such as trees or buildings up wind of you will cause the kite to fall out of the sky in infuriating regularity. Flying on a beach with an
onshore breeze will give a very different experience; the kite has very high performance, flying very fast through the air. The speed and power is
increased greatly if it worked in figures of eight. It has a tendency to fly above and beyond the edge of the wind window. This is not a good thing;
it will go from being fully inflated and travelling at high speed to being emptied of all its air and ending up in a bin bag-like mess on the floor in
an infuriating regularity.
