Pansh 4m Ace tuning???


I have a pansh Ace 4m that I picked up recently. I have had the chance to fly it twice now in good wind. the first time it was 10-12mph wind which felt very good and I was able to get some nice 4-5ft pendulum jumps with decent hangtime. the kite had nice soft landings for jumps as well which seemed suprising to me since its only a 4m.

the second time I flew the kite was today and it was more of a 10-20mph range with a few gusts in the high 20's maybe 30mph range.

I can say that this kite is definitely scary above 15mph winds for static flying!

the problem I have been seeing with the kite though is that about half of the time I jump, after I touch back down again the kite will front stall and invert by looping forward and under. I have my brakes set very loose right now since the ACE tends to deflate and back stall very easily when applying brakes. The kite will also overfly and invert in high wind gusty conditions when you fly to the zenith.

I'd like to try and find a way to tune the bridal so that the brakes are less sensative and have more pressure to evenly distribute the pull on the handles. I'd also like to figure out if there is any other ways to keep this kite from inverting since so far the only method I have found is to hit the brakes half way through a jump.

if anyone can touch on this situation or has a similar experience please share it.

Id wait till the kite beds in before making any adjustments but thats just me. I flew my 4m today in 12 to 15 mph winds and had no issues. See what happens when you fly LEIs (j/k)? Good luck and hope you get the Ace sorted out.
