Can someone tell me what to expect? I am getting a new bullet 4.5 any day now.So I am trying to kill some time.and find out how much fun I am going to have! I know it will lift me But how will it set me down or throw me down. I know it has a lot to do with the conditions.The wind here is a good steady 9-15 mph. Are those good conditions for that size?

How much do you weigh ? I'm about 150lbs and the 4.5 works good in those winds for me although they are a bit low for jumping. Expect to experience good pull but not as good jumping. I'm still working on my jumps and choose to go about it slow and easy. I choose not to jump ( on purpose ) with my 4.5. I've been lifted many times with it and rode it out without troulble. I stick with the bigger kites for jumping.
