Congratulations on the new additions to your quiver.
Like all kites you should get to know their flight characteristics before you try buggying with them. Fly them static in clean wind; they are not
going to like dirty wind and will only cause you frustration. Start in the lower wind ranges till you are use to them.
Race kites get their power through speed. When you turn them quickly or loop them the power comes on fast and strong. This can bite you if you are
not expecting it. The power can drop off just as quickly, so don't try jumping with them. This behavior will be more noticeable on the smaller kites.
Fly safe and post often. Let us know how you make out with them.
