Wind Range of Bullet 3.5m
Hi there,
Fairly new to kiting (3 weeks) but was out on my 3.5m Bullet today in about 20-25mph wind and was getting pulled about everywhere!!! Out of
control....Not sure if I could have altered the lines but was wondering if anyone knows the comfy control range of the kite??
Many thanks

If you have only been kiting for 3 weeks, you shouldnt have this kite out in wind this high. Wind range depends on many many factors. Your weight,
your skill. I have been flying for several years, and Im very heavy. My windrange on a 3.5 bullet will be much higher than yours. All I can say
is take it easy, dont fly above and beyond what you would call "in control"
Hope this helps even if it is just a little.

I had bullets a few years back, I 13.5 stone and would say 25mph is top end. even the 2.5 is topping out in 30 mph, ( maybe 35 on a good day).

Average weight guy, 3.5m kite, probably something like 14-20mph, +5 if you love being powered up and know your stuff.
4.5m, I'm thinking probably more like 10-16mph, once again, +5 if you love power.
