<<< Scared sh**less


Okay I just made the move from a 3.5m pro-guts to a 7.0m beamer and had it out today in 15mph.

I felt a little outta control (see previous post), is 15mph too much?

What does your manual say is the overpowered wind range for your kite ? I'm not up on HQ. I would expect it's about 15.
It's logical you would have scared yourself in those winds. My 7m bullet is more or less my low wind land kite. It will fly before the 10m P2. I'm only 145 and past 45 so I'm a bit wussy and move to my 4.5 at about 10 or so mph.
It's a BIG leap fro 3.6 to 7m . Personally I would have a gap in the middle with those 2 kites. Too powered on the 7 but a weak ride on the 3.6 at about 15mph.

I tried a quick search for HQ powerkites website but wasn't having any luck. Could someone please post or send me the link ?
