Wow! that looks nice! How long are the flying lines you use for this kite? I heard that longer lines give you more time to respond, I guess more space is covered using the same angle.
I'm about to build my first NPW9 and still deciding whether to make it a 3m or 4m kite...
Lines are 33m, not tried it on shorter or longer lines.
Have a 4m and that pulls like a train, its great for landboarding, have used this one on 10m and 33m lines, just as good on both.
If your just building one to fly then I'd go for a 2.5m max, the bigger they are the slower they fly,and the harder they pull (its pretty hard to control one from the prone position) really depends what your using for.
Yeah flies great, thanks for taking the time to comment. Found that the smaller they are the faster they fly, I'm goin to try to put together a very small one <0.5msq. see how that goes.
BTW, sorry about the sound in the video, camera on its way out, it has since passed away.
