Calculating a kite's power

lunchbox - 11-7-2008 at 09:46 PM

I'm looking to replace my Rage 6.0m and trying to fit a kite between my 4.9 and 8.3 Reactors.

So I'm thinking about getting a 6m Yakuza, 6.4 Reactor or 7m Blurr.

Is there a formula or way to calculate the amount of power a particular fixed bridle kite produces (i.e would a 6m Yakuza have the same amount of power as a 7m Blurr). And by power, I'm really interested with forward power, not lateral pull.
