:alien:ive got a pansh ace 6m and an older ozone axcess but im still having trouble gitting lifted but that may be because im 230lbs any one got a big
lifty kite for sale or want to suggest for me looking for under $400 :oBladerunner - 9-11-2010 at 07:34 AM
It makes sense that jumping isn't easy with the Apex but it is curious that you have trouble with the Ace ?
Are you sure you are going about it correctly?Maven454 - 9-11-2010 at 07:39 AM
Bladerunner, he said axcess not apex, though neither of them are lifty kites, so your point still stands. As for the Ace... it's a Pansh? The one that I had pulled like a truck, but didn't seem particularly lifty.BeamerBob - 9-11-2010 at 08:01 AM
I had a 6m Pansh Ace that was very lifty. As lifty as the 6.5 Flexifoil Blade that replaced it. The guy I sold it to, broke both bones in his shin
after it lofted him. It's not a fast turner and is more difficult to control but something is wrong with it if its not lifty. That's one of its
design characteristics. It would pick me up in winds as low as 8, but really turned on at 12-14 mph.Maven454 - 9-11-2010 at 08:17 AM
Well, they've never been known for consistency.Maven454 - 9-11-2010 at 08:32 AM
Anyway, Bladerunner's question is still relevant, you should be able to jump with anything, given proper technique and sufficient wind.BeamerBob - 9-11-2010 at 08:41 AM

and a kite with a bridle as designed and not stretched out. Or lines set up properly. The Ace doesn't like much brake input as I remember.shehatesmyhobbies - 9-11-2010 at 10:54 AM
They also don't like gusty winds! That can mean real trouble with an ace!andrewbarnz - 12-11-2010 at 09:19 AM
yes the ace is a pansh but im using Cabrinha lines and bar with it and yes it is very unstable. yes ive managed to scudd with it 3 or four times but i
know if i let it take me higher than ten feet theres no float to this kite. either your really good at flying this thing or it'l toss you like a paper
bag in a hurricane.
