Video of me losing a 7M beamer! (why killers are a great idea)
This is me, rather stupidly flying a 7m in 16mph winds without kite killers, filmed today.
(WATCH RIGHT TO END, WITH VOLUME UP!)

PS Let that be a lesson to other noobs like myself! |

Thats Very Funny Brother..
I had my Blade take off too.. I thought it was down,even had a kite stake holding the handle ends.. I was away and it powered up and away it
went...After a LONG Run..I found it 3 dunes over..
I bet getting the lines untangled was the #@%$#!.
Hope all is well.

I recovered it after a big sprint, and amazingly the thing had cleared both the right and left side of a high fenced astra-turf pitch and landed the
other side, the lines were neatly placed over the top of the of the fences creating a ŽbridgeŽ effect - and no tangles!!!
There was a few people about 50M from were it landed looking on bemused!
