while flying my blade 3 10.5 today, i learned a couple of things-first,if you launch this kite while sitting(i did because the wind was about 15mph) then you can do some awesome long scuds while staying in a very comfortable crouch position--the other thing i finally got the courage to do was to fly across the top of the window fast and then shoot the kite up quickly which provided alot of "pop" and i got some really nice airs.....it was gusty so i had to be pretty careful--these little tricks may not work as well with other kites
