[stroke survivor]

I've got several Prism kites, Ozone, Alien, and 3-D, and so far the wind ranges seem to be accurate! Myself, I feel a bit more comfortable with a kite that pulls a little less, more at the lower end of it's target range than the upper end!! But that's my opinion and what I like, you may have other ideas!!
PS: I've had a stroke that compromised my balance, so I stay away from "the pull"!!! That's why I choose to go to another kite, if it just flies, it's good to go!!!

Hi,
Thank you... I´ll imagine... now I am sure what is the best range to fly.
Good winds

I think it would be silly to try and fly the 4D in winds over 5mph. It starts to get too fast for any tricks at 3mph. As was mentioned above, the kite may not explode at 10mph, but it wouldn't be any fun.

I got a 4d and a nexus and with the westerly winds in Brisbane this time of year it gust for a minute than dies for five minute. The Nexus would fly great for the minute but than I would run out park trying to keep it up.
The 4D was a great buy. On these day I just park it at the edge during the gust and than have fun the rest of the time. I'm not good at tricks yet but I can see with a better pilot they would get it moving.
I have tried it once in doors and want more.
It so compact I keep both in the work van ready for when I have time for a fly.
