Blade lift

Sthrasher38 - 17-8-2007 at 09:27 PM

Any new tips on how to get a little more lift? b2-6.4Bridals may be stretched. Dont have exact measurments for them. Any tips besides more wind would be greatful. Thanks. I have only had it in no more than about 12mph. So I am still not sure when this kite wakes up but I am sure it will.:borg:

Get exact measurements from Flexi :thumbup:

I'd try flying it in 15+, my 6.5 IV is hot as around the 10 mark, but have a play around; you should have enough lift to tug u around at 12, but if you think theres a fault with the kite; either ask flexi, send it to flexi, or take it to a local shop!

Is it possible that you don't have enough practice at jumping yet to get the best out of the kite ? A lot of how you jump has to do with how you load up and let go. If you don't have that down no kite will make you a 10ft jumper and that takes a bit of time.

Good call Snow. The Blade isnt an auto jumper, you have to make it jump you but it can be an auto lifter if at zenith and you hit a gust. Practice, practice, practice those pendilum jumps! I attached a clip for you on pend jumps using an B3 8.5 in 10 mph winds. Hope it helps! Fly hard and safe!

I think it is just lack of wind. Like I said the most wind I have had this kite in is about 12mph. And I am 200# So I just have to be patient. Thanks.
