  • 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.

  • omg... looks like it flies like hell.. lines are all good :s

  • 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.

see all
