I got this kite used on e-Bay, and using for Snow / Land Boarding. It flys very fast across the wind window and has a nice amount of loft for me (just learning to jump).

The 4.9 will gets you off the ground quickly, but it drops you like a sack of potatoes on the landing. Don't plan on really big jumps, and when you do jump, you're moving really fast when you land. :wow:

I fly it on handles, and am considering adding a home-made de-power bar.

Kite has awkward triagular tips that tend to sag a bit, I think this was addressed in the later versions of the Blade.
