Can anyone tell me if or when you get air with a bullet how is the landing? I have heard that they are not made for lift but that goes both ways.It pulls hard and fast? Does it drop you the same way? Or is all that come from practice? I am new only been flying for about a year more often than not. Oh can someone please send some wind to cali.:smilegrin: Anyway going to get a good deal on a new 7.0 bullet Very excited and un-certain about what to expect in certain conditions. My other kites are 3.5 &4.0. And winds are weird around here. Thanks!

Guess who?

I'm not at the point of making big jumps yet so have limited 1st hand experience that way. YES, I can jump with my Bullet when moving fast enough. I'm very happy with my 7 in lower winds.
Yesterday a local was telling me he got slammed hard with his 5.5 the other day and sold it :wow: He is a big boy that was pulling some pretty respectable jumps with that little beast last year. Funny thing is he bought it cheap from a nube that also got slammed by the moody beast ?
A couple of weeks ago another rider was using my 4.5 to mess around and got slammed when jumping by it as well ? Seems like they are getting thrown but not always up :duh: Maybe they fly so realiably that people are getting taken by surprise, so don't let your gaurd down.

Of course you know that a 7 is WAY too big a kite for learning ??? !!!
