3m mk3 Blade, safe for me?


Well its been a while PKF, kinda lost the kite bug over colder months etc, now summer is back down here i got my kites out again and having fun.

Now i still consider myself a beginner, but probably have 6-7hrs of flying time on my PL Rebble and dozens hours on my 2line trainer, so i not totally "noob", but hell yeah i am still a beginner.

I just bought a second-hand Flexifoil Blade mk3 3m (hasn't arrived yet) and now i am getting a little nervous haha, i know Blades have a reputation for pain, and not for beginners. I kind of hoped it being 3m and me being a big fella (135kg) i "should" be ok flying it? What say you experts?

Of course i going to be over cautious and only try it out on light breeze days first when it arrives.

On a side note, previous owner has it set up on a Control bar, i thinking i will want it on handles instead, never flown 4 line on a bar, is it controllable still?

Thanks all
