HENGDA KITE2.5m Dual Line No Skeleton Soft Stunt Parafoil Power Kites 98-inch for Beach with Flying Tools

Très bien

First, if you think you cannot do this, just youtube it while you wait on it to be delivered. Once you get the hang of it, you can fly it in 7 mph winds and up. 10 MPH wind is a great training wind to practice on. I just had it out in 15-17 mph winds and it was a blast and a minor work out. I have 20 to 25 mph winds coming tomorrow, I expect it to lift me up to one foot as it flies side to side.I self launch into a narrow opening. I do not have a wide open field, I cannot do a bunch of tricks, but it is easy to fly it away from obstructions with out issue. I have treed it once, and I was able to fly it back out of the tree by chance and the lines stayed intact.When I self launch. I lay flat on the ground with the tail pointed towards me. a small weight on the tail keep it from blowing away. As you take tension on the line, twitch the lines slightly to get the cells to inflate. At that point, either the wind will finish the inflation or you will step backwards briskly to finish the inflation and up she goes. The tension needs to be even at the bridles, that may or may not keep your arms even. worry less about your arm position and I think you will have better luck in good flights.Another piece of advice, youtube some skydivers handling their parachutes once they land. It will give you something to mimic when you handle your cascade lines and bridle. Line tangles are not hard to manage if you keep a broader context of what you are trying to do.The fabric is stiff when you fly it the first time, but the more you fly it, the more limber the fabric becomes as you break it in.I started two weeks ago with a 48 inch 19 dollar parafoil kite, it was quite a bit harder to fly and needs stronger wind to have fun. If you are a good adolescent to not an idiot adult, this should be no problem. When I wear this one out, I will get this again or a little bit bigger one. On the other hand, this is at a price point to try it and see if you like or give it away.

The amount of lines that are on this thing are very overwhelming. Once I realized how to hook it up (two minutes) it worked great. Don’t untangle or untie anything as you will change how the kite flies. Simply pull the line through the white loops and connect. A video will do you wonders. It has good pull and was fun but nowhere near as fast of versatile as a stunt delta. I see this kite as a beginner power kite for most and woul definitely recommend it. As one person stated get new line. I never trust a kite makers line. I would shop for 200# braided stunt line. Worth the money.

Great kite for the money, will fly in lower wind speeds. easy to set up and fly for beginners.

Well, you got what you paid for. I mean what I paid for. Lines are way too long, they constantly tangle around. Several times I attempted to launch that kite, and only ended up with completely tangled lines. It is impossible to untangle in a wind. Whoever designed that kite were suppose to think about how to minimize lines being tangled. They does not need to be that long. I had before Flexfoil kite that I returned because it was way too expensive at $90, but I never had problem with that kite lines being tangled.
