Lad,buggymangp was the man to ask re flying the wing at WW, though my 4.8 was pulling me back and forth quite well at the high side of the beach, that
is until i got in the'shadow' of the Madrid Hotel, and dropped my wing on your lady friend's head! opps, sorry...

I couldn't access this thread's 2nd page (bobalooie57's last post) until I added this comment! :puzzled:
I can sort'a hit upwind with the 4.8 - adding brakes definitely gives it that "turbo" effect. But angling the loose sail effectively (and not sending
it backwards, like a Rev stunt kite) is an issue.

You just need more time with the kite and it will come.
