Looking for a buggy engine
Hey guys. I have had a buggy for about a year now and have not had much chance to ride the thing because I don't have a proper engine for it. I
currently fly a 7m cabrinha and feel that it is too large. I thinks something around 4-5m would be a great fit. I am not looking to pay much more than
$150 + shipping. I don't mind old gear as long as it works and isnt going to rip the frist time I use it. Let me know if anyone has anything. Thanks!

I think a 5m fixed bridle is going to produce more power than a 7m Cabrina. Assuming the Cabrina is a depower.
Kites: 2.5m Profoil , Quadrifoil XL kitesurfer, NPW 5 Danger.
Flexifoil: 1.7m Sting, 4.9m Blade 3, 9m Blade 2.
Flysurfer : 19m Speed 2 SA, 7m Pulse
Peter Lynn :18m Phantom, 15m Synergy, 10m Synergy, 1200 Farc, 460 Sarc, 130 Tarc, 5m Peel, 4.2m , 6.4, 8.5 C-Quads, 3.5 LS2 single skin.
Rides: Flexi / P.L. Frankin'Buggy , Shaped + straight skiis, sand skis, Coyote blades. Core 95 ATB. RKB R2 ATB .

Thanks for the tip dylan... I sent him a U2U about the 3.7M.
Yea the Cabrina is a depower. I have never even flown a fixed bridle. Do you think the 3.7M would work decent?

A 7m depower should be just fine for using in a buggy. I use an 8m Manta as my small depower buggy kite.

My cabrina works but it turns on a dime and is very touchy. I would like something that turns a little more slowly. Any suggestions? I am not the most
experienced rider. Thanks for the help guys!
