HQ Symphony 1.8 Power kite

Flying my new kite, a HQ Symphony 1.8, for the very first time at extremely variable (but mostly slow) wind speeds.

This is my first power-kite but I have flown with a few delta's in the past which made this maiden voyage, except for some small crashes, a walk in the park. At the time the wind picked up it was getting dark and we needed to go but I almost got dragged along a few times! (Which is of course the reason why you want to fly a power-kite)

@jorn89 Dir is opgenomen op Den-Treek Henschoten. Ja het is een leuke kite voor dat geld, toch misschien later in het jaar kijk ik voor iets groters :o)

Yeah I bought a HQ Symphony 1.8 for $85 and I haven't used it yet. It can go from 6/kph to 50kph (kilometers per hour) wind speed. When the kite enters the power-zone do a sharp turn up and give a tug on the line when the kite reaches the zenith. You will go soaring through the air.

Oh en probeer meer naar achter te trekken met je armen, in plaats van naar de zijkant. Veel effectiever en minder vermoeiend :)

Awesome :).. It's like a wired airplane with quite the acrobatic moves :D
