Last week I bought my first depowerable, a used North Husky 8m. Unfortunately the conditions were not there to fly it but I am wondering what to
expect in terms of pull if I can launch it in mild conditions with the bar out as well as the trim strap. Question is will it pull as much or more
than my Flexifoil Bullet 3.5m on handles?

Hey, as a rough estimate, you are proabably looking at the power of a 4-6m kite with the Husky. I have never flown it, but that's just a quick
estimation on an 8m depower kite.

I think Baluk is right.
The Husky is a good kite ! Well made and well behaved ! 8m is a good size for average winds. You will eventually want a larger kite as well but won't
believe that at 1st ! If you got that kite under $500 complete and in good shape you made a good deal !

Thanks guys, and if what you say about the kite is true Bladerunner, then I got a smoking deal.... or do you just know the guy that sold it to me ;-)

There are 2 people here who have the Husky. I haven't flown it but have ridden with them. It's well made and well behaved.
The one fellow has moved to an all Access quiver but I never heard Him complain about His Husky once !
If you bought it From Vancouver I may know the seller.
It's sad to see a quality kite like that drop so much in price but that's the way it is !
