Hello everyone!! Have read every one's posts. Cant thank you people enough! Been kiting six months now, great fun. Read posts on how to fly while
waiting for pro-foil 2.5 to be delivered. Picked up flight control immediately thanks to advice from forum members. Flew for a few months then got a
buggy,kite trike for now as price could not be beat. Anyway went to Elmer's to learn to buggy the wind was 25 mph with gusts a lot higher. To afraid
to take out the blade 4.0 or bullet 5.5, I launched the profoil2.5 almost pulled my arms off. With kite straight over head standing next to buggy I
sat down in the bug. While looking at the bug to sit down the kite dove for the ground, I turned it back up and was yanked out of the bug and pulled
three feet high and scudded about ten feet.:o Did not think that was possible from the 2.5, Holy @&#*!! Got in about 20 miles worth of bugging
that day sliding all over the place!! Made a few mistakes as would be expected, crashed kite a few times, slid around backwards and wrapped lines
around axle you know!! No OBE's while buggy was moving though. Every
ones posts/advice trimmed my learning curve, still learning though:D Thanks again!! See you at Elmers
