Would like to thank all those who gave me advice on kite site, after flying a 1.9 peter lynn i seen the kite videos and there peolpe kite jumping, i thought wooow i wanna do that, the 1.9 realy wasnt powerful enough for me, so i put kite jumping kite and the twister II came up, i thought the bigger the better, i was adviced NOT to get the 7.7 on here and maybe go for the 5.6. I went for neither,

I brought a beamer hq 4 on gumtree second hand, the kite was mint and got it for £60 with everthing. I took it out today and here in Birmingham uk we have had 22knt gusting winds, all i can say is woow, the power and pull is amazing, and it has pulled me off my feet and 10feet high (need to practice landings).

I only flew it for 30mins and feel like iv been flying it for hours, didnt realise flyin a kite took so much outa ya.

Any hows Thanks again

Danny

Danny,
Glad to hear you had a good session on your new kite.
The "..feel like iv been flying it for hours.." is VERY familiar, especially if you're flying with handles. That's what happened to me when I flew my PL Twister II too, in order not to feel this way, try not to fight with the handles too much, try to hold them with the tip of your fingers, and only when you need to brakes, use your entire hand.
Also, sounds to me, like you've been flying in a bit too much windy day, for a beginner (unless you're not..).
All I can say is, the more you'll practice, the easy it gets .

Have fun and may the wind be with you :Ange09:

If that is your typical wind then you have made a great choice. That kite will teach you all you need to know and make you far better prepared to move up.

Work on flying the kite without looking at it before jumping. To jump proper you need to know where the kites is and redirect while spotting your landing.

A great choice for a first kite. You will get to the Twister....just give yourself some time! The beamer 4m was my second kite and I remember trying to hang on!!! It can be a total handful. Take your time. Learn safely. Enjoy!!!
