turning the bullet


Can anyone tell me how the bullets turn? Are the bigger ones harder to turn in light winds? Thanks

It seems to me that the bridles on my bullets set the lines closer to the middle. With plenty of brake it will turn on itself. Often in low winds on the 7 a down turn is more suited / effective. I'm VERY pleased !

The bullet is a great kite in my opinion, My 7 meter turns just fine in 8 mph winds at the beach, it dosent turn extreemly fast like a 3meter would but it turns fast enough to keep you moving.... what will you be using the bullet kite for?
there great if you buggy because there reduced lift kites and they wont generate alot of lift that might yank you out of the buggy when you make a hard turn. if your looking for jumps and lift you WONT find alot of it with the bullet...

The stronger the wind, the more one can use the brake lines to assit in turning the kite.

The sooner you start your turn before getting to the edge of the window, the less you will have to use your brake lines.

In light winds, using your brake lines doesn't work as well as anticipating the turn.

the beamer 5.0 is Okay, I use it only for kitesking (snowboarding) it holds up well in the wet snow, as for a land kite its not so great, more of a trainer type kite in my opinion...
