Flexifoil Kites 3m & 10.5m
Just got back into kiting again after a few years of being away... just sold my 3m Radsail for a Flexifoil II 3m and a 10.5 for the lower windy
days....both should be here next week.
Any recommendation for me, with the Flexi's especially?

Blade II bridles are not collected in a way that accommodates the Flexifoil AOA adjuster. I thought the 10.5 is a Blade III? It may be AOA ready but

be careful with the blades in gusty wind conditions....the are not forgiving at all....
The II also have a tendency to bow tie so...keep them moving or those tips will quickly fold in on the end and you will soon figure out very quickly
what I'm talking about.
Have fun and wear a helmet too.

Ok so first time this weekend I flew both of the Flexifoils..... The 10.5 is by far the scariest to fly in 8mph wind. Its pulls very hard nothing like
I have felt before and this includes the LEI's I used to own. its straight up pull, I parked at as soon as the winds picked up over 10mph and started
flying the 3m Blade. This was more workable when the winds shot up to 15mph and its still pulls pretty hard and a few times I was almost tip toeing
with my hands extended up. Both had smooth power build up and on occasions the tips start to fold, but can be correct by redirecting the kite... All
in all I LOVE EM.... amazing kites... I have my brother in law hooked now as well, he will be getting one soon too now!!
