So yeah, 25 mph, gustin 40 mph. Me flying my HQ Rush 1.2 m. Tought Few people with it, they crashed few time. I crashed it myself, the kite even ended
up on a tree, when I let go of the bar, probably was around 40-45mph gust. Then I crash really hard and BOOM. Three inner cells explode at ones.
So I go home, superglued it, flew it for 60 minutes more, then crashed few more times, and superglue unglued.
Got very emotional about the kite, so I ordered a 3 m Pansh legend.
And now I am going to get trashed and go to the club.
Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend =]
Cheers

Dude, I feel for you 
Nothing like a few beers to drown your pain and a new kite to wisk it all away.:singing:
I have to justify new kite purchases to my wife of 12 years who has been more than tolerant of my hobbies and the time and money I've invested in
them. Believe me you, there have been times I wished my kites exploded so I could simply show her the rag that used to be a great kite, give her that
crushed, sad puppy look and tell her, "well, honey, I'm real sorry because I know I promised not to just go out and buy another kite. You know how
much I love and respect you and its not like I was planning a purchase or want want a new kite but now I NEED one."
Yeah, destruction is good. Its almost like forced evolution

I can't remember when the last time a kite self destructed, my buddies Radsail when he flew it full power straight down into a puddle, the cells
sealed on the water and blew out a couple seams, I've damaged one Brooza, I tried a highly modified bridal setup and well, needless to say the bridal
blew apart, sail's still good though. I've had a set of Buster I/II's that's going on it's second year of training students.
I do have a 9m Buster that's got a badly stretched bridal after towing a 600+lb tandem buggy setup for a couple years.
