Hi All,

I live in england and have just bought a 3m quad line power stunt kite. Was just seeing if anyone would know wether this would be able to lift me, the winds where i live will be around 15mph plus.

I think we will need more info on this. What kite would really help. Also your weight will play into it.

the kite is 3M QUAD CONTROL LINE POWER STUNT KITE. And i weight around 75-80kgs.

That is a link of the kite

Hope this helps

Putting it in caps doesnt exactly help us better understand what you got. The link is useful though. I am a little concerned by the statement that its a "power stunt kite". Personally, I would be a little suspect of that. If you want a true "power kite" you might want to go with a more mainstream brand. Like HQ, Flexifoil, Peter Lynn, Ozone, etc. While that might be a totally valid kite, and safe to kite with, I have no knowledge of it. Nor have I ever heard of it.

I am also curious how much flying experience you have. Is this your first 4-line kite? If so, I would highly recommend you keep your feet on the ground, and learn more about how to fly it, rather than start looking for a way to get off the ground...

Just my two cents...

Posting the link helped the most. To answer your question, Yes it will probably lift you. I would be worried about the quality of construction. I would also be worried about the weight rating for the lines. An example. pansh kites come with lines rated for at least 100kg per line. Those kites don't cost much but will definatly pick you up. Please be aware any time a kite picks you up it might hurt you. I hope the kite is of good construction and you like it very much. I hope you are not disappointed. Let us know.

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated! i will keep you posted.

Pretty much any kite will lift you in enough wind . Only a larger canopy can provide you with the float you need to land soft and safe.

I think this kite will perform more on the stunt side than the power side. It will hopefully fly well and give you a good intro to the sport. There is a ton to learn about kite handling that this should be good for.

Jumping is a step or 2 down the road and you will discover there are better designed kites for jumping as you learn more.

Have fun.
