does anyone use two line foils anymore for kite buggying

I have two one of which i believe is really high aspect that i would like to try buggying with

is it harder to get up wind with a two line foil

upwind wouldn't be the problem since the 2 line kite should pull to the front of the window easily. Kite position control is the only thing lacking for the 2 line IMHO as long as it can make enough power for you.

I have used my 5m Peel to buggy with.
No issues.

Details please.... :wee:

peter lynn peel -- well. that was something different. the first kite i personally really wasnt lucky with. i can see reasons for nasawings, i love arcs, the dificult scorpion, or my hq apex 1 (it is called a "depower" kite - but where is the depower?)...

but the peel .. tested it one day and sold it immediately afterwards.
just my personal opinion about that pl peel


@shortlineflyer. what about your Rev Blast 2-4 ? did you try buggy with that in a bit higher winds? there is somewhere a video about buggying with a rev kite!

John Barresi demonstrates the control of a Power Blast 2.4, and Joe Hadzicki uses the same kite on a buggy, showing why this is a favorite power kite for fliers all over the world.

i am still learning to fly that kite
it can be a challenge sometimes

I picked up the Peel mostly for historic value but also to see what it was all about. I got it signed by Mr. Lynn Himself!

I have only flown it twice. The crossover bridle works well for fast turning. The bridle itself is heavy and complicated. It must slow the kite when riding ? The only time I have tried it with the buggy it felt like I was fying a 4 line ( using handles but no brake lines). The wind was strong and my park was small. I was concerned on how to handle things if it all went wrong. Mostly for the kite so cut it short. I was able to hold ground. Didn't have room to work upwind much but I'm sure it was no issue.

Now that I think about it I cut the buggy ride short because backing the kite down was an issue ?

Rev Blast is cool but 4 line?

Blade, I have a 3m peel I've been waiting to try in the buggy... :singing:

You can buggy with a two line kite. I did when I first started. You can go upwind.
