Hi Guys,
I've just purchased my first quad line kite the Peter Lynn Pepper 4.5 I'm just short of 6ft and weigh about 13.5stone.
will just be using the kite for scudding and jumping etc... i have had experience flying a couple of duel line kites before (proteam 8 & PL Spark 1.5) do you think the 4.5 is too big for my first quad line or should i be ok. Not had chance to fly yet, waiting for some decent weather. any advice or info on what i can expect would be much appreciated.

Thanks
:smilegrin:

Little bit big for first timers, be careful, only go out in 5 to 10 mph winds. Wear: Helmet, Elbow pads, Knee pads, and maybe Wrist pads.

Always remember, Don't forget, if it gets to hairy, LET GO!

If you let go with one hand you won't have to chase the kite, but you will have a tangle to workout. That will give you sometime to remember what you did wrong. If you let go with both hands, your gonna end up doing a 4 minute mile or better to get it back.

Above all else, have fun, fly safe.

You will be fine. The pepper is a great beginners ktie because its so smooth. Not and aggressive kite at all. Just start slow,and you will be wishing for more power before you know it.
