Working on another pass the kite.

However I'd like to know what size most people want to test, and i'll just take an average and get that size in for everyone to test.

Company: Wolkenstuermer
Kite: Electra
Websites:
http://www.xn--wolkenstrmer-klb.de/
http://www.wolkenstürmer.com
(note the site is in German, on the left menu, under Online Shop, click MATTEN)

If possible, I'd like to get in on a pass the kite activity. If I may, I'd vote for the 4.6m.

Put me on the list to be on the list...:D

The 4.6 sounds good. Put on the list to0..

I'd like to check it out too. My vote is for the 6.8 though.

4.6 will probably cover the widest set of winds.

That's a good point...change my vote to 4.6.

I can't seem to get into the website but I would actually vote for a larger kite. We've done lots of pass the kites with 4-5 meter kites. I would like to try a larger kite to make it worth my time. I guess I'm biased because I have several 4-5 meter kites.

See ya-Scott

If I'm right this is a buggy bias kite ? Looks a touch like a Bullet to me. If it was built for jumping like a Blade I would be with you . Being a buggy engine I still feel that a 4.6 will cover the best range. I know I got a ton of range out of my 4.5 Bullet .

WHOO HOO! Looking forward to giving the kite a go when it arrives. Hopefully the winds will not disappoint me so I can give feedback.

I'd like to try it too if it is coming East.

Not at all...was kind of planning on it already.

I'd love to try it

list has been updated ... i dunno where everyone is in the USA ... if the order needs to change, please do so ... harddrive8 is first

oddly this is the 3rd kite to go south of the border. i have two more Pass the ??? (cooper kite and mr.kitesurf g-force) coming so we'll start that one in Canada first.

I feel like a kid again in 3rd grade bouncing up and down with my arm as high in the air as I can get it ohohohohmememe I'd love to try a cooper as well... a smaller size... 2.6 or 3.3 looks about right.... when you get that far... Ricardo... :singing:

its arrived and will be going to SOBB until the Sept 3-4 and than the pass begins with Harddrive8.

i will say High Quality and cant comment on performance, i'll leave that part up to you guys.

*edited*

i couldnt resist trying out a new kite, so I've opened up the 4.6m and it handles inland gusts pretty well. I was at a local park with 3 buildings around, and it musters through the lulls okay.

on first view I was trying to figure out the bridle setup, since you have adjusts not only using the brake knots but also the Power Line Bridles. I've set it up to 4 knots out right now, but demoers, please play around with it.
I'm supplying this kite with regular spectra lines, and Mr.Jellis Handles.

Bridle Picture: http://www.ripsessionkites.com/wolkensturmer/Electra-Trimmun...

for reference I've added a picture of the bridle adjustment options, since they DO NOT have a manual yet in ENGLISH. German anyone?

Some information from the team riders:

I fly my Electras on lines from 13m to 18m. This kite is very stable to fly and incredible fast. Some weeks ago we started with the Electras at the 24hours Race.
We started to break the old Worldrecord of 639km/24hours. Our Team (me and 2 friends) finished with 787 driven Kilometers.

Here is a nice video of the 24h Race in St. Peter Ording:

(enjoy the video, lots of U-Turns, Jojos, Ozones, Libre, PKDs and even that Yak GT)

Hi! For sure put me in. I'd like to give the kite a try.

Thanks-Scott

Gotta love the "Pass The..." programs.

Yes,

Rip' has loaded me up with kites to try

I will have the 4.6 and 6.8 with me at Sobb. Some Mr. Kitesurf kites to try as well ! The 3 and 8m Firewall and a 7.5m Yeti snowkite :singing:

All of these kites are available for others at SOBB to try :cool2:

People who are serious about depower that want to try my Flysurfers are welcome to give them a try also :evil:

Skatewing as well

I wan't to try one bro!! And I am Serious! I guess I havt to wait for Nabx.:sniff:

screwyfits is second on the list, there speedysthrasher. =)

Sorry rip, I was talking to Bladerunner on that Flysurfer. And if Screwy is 2nd that is cool. Demo kites sent here get to be tried by the nor cal guys. That is great to get to try new kites w/ your flying buddies.

Well I also got to fly the Wofenwhatsit !
Thanks Rip' for so many fine kites to try out at SOBB !

Another great newcomer

I have to compare this one to my 4.5 Bullet. Very similar kites with very similar charactaristics. I only wish I had tried a Rage because I think it would also compare nicely. I would go so far as to suggest that this is an improvement on the Bullet. It doesn't have the mesh on the openings but I hated that in wet snow .

This is a buggy engine for sure ! Lots of smooth pull and not too much lift. VERY sensitive to brake input. Very well behaved and a great kite for getting in to buggies ! I found it was tricky to back down due to the sensitive brakes but I'm sure you would get that down to an art in very short time !

Very sharp looking kite in Black and a goldy Orange accent !

I would recommend this one to anyone that is excited about the Blurr but can't afford it yet !
