What is the windrange for these kites at 200lbs? And your thoughts on performance..

have you tried the PL wind range calculator website?

not a place on this planet you want be able fly, you are pole to pole ready with that set from gnat fart to gale you r covered might even be better if added a 10m synergy from powerzone.

13 loops nice, high wind power band very close to c-kite but more forgiving and range

16 choice of all, a real sky hook, wind tool supreme

Thank you for the info on the windcalculator....I have a V2 19, so I think a V1 13 should cover me...Looks like the 16 would be redundant...

no worries on the hijack...:thumbup:

just finished out a super long session on the water with v13 & v16

very gusty 15-30

v13 got about an hour of time, fun but the lulls were becoming longer so hopped on the v16 for the last 3 hours . fellow flier 's junk broken... kite flies away...he is out about 1/2 mile maybe more, i fly out and drag him back. another flier goes and fetches the loose kite on his rig. main line broke @ the loop with a gust and no leash. made his day

Hyper VENOM ,, a very tight venom, modded... tucked, tighten and bridled

keeps the canopy from flaring and more rigid feel.

thanks tri for the link
