Can you tell me?


Hey, Can anyone tell me why there is such a big jump in aspect ratio between the 4.5 & 5.5 Bullet. Is it that much bigger?Or do all kites have that much jump in ratio by moving up one size?:puzzled:

Usually kite makers have 2-3 designs for a kite, with the Buster 1's, they made the 3m, then scaled it up and down to get the 0.7m buster up to the 4m Buster. Then they designed a seperate profile for the 7m, then scaled it up and down for the 5.5m and the 9m. So the 3m and 7m are the sweet kites in the lineup. All the other kites fly well, but you've got a fair gap in design if you put the 4m beside the 5.5m kite.

One would assume that with the Bullet, this change happened between the 4.5m and the 5.5m
