Well the Pansh Ace 3.5M arived in the mail last night. After opening this thing up I am sure glad I listened to you guys and did not get a really big kite. This will be my first time flying a traction kite. Now I just need some wind and a good excuse to get out of work early. :D

Congrats, Timber. Looking forward to hearing your reports about the kite...

OK I got to fly the 3.5M Ace last night. It was really gusty but probably around 10mph. First I have to say

THANK YOU ALL for the advise. I was thinking about a 6M but you guys conviced me to keep it smaller for my first kite. After flying it I am amazed with how much more pull a traction kite has over my 3m prisim.

I struggled with untagling the lines but once I got it up it was OK. I can see why this is so addicting.

Anyways thanks for the advise and help

Thanks for posting about the smaller kite being a better choice. You will have the guts to try things much sooner on this size than a 6m. Too many go big at 1st and end up scared off of the sport. Maybe that's natural selection at work :wink2:
