  1. Please, as has been stated previously, those "factory numbers" should NOT interest you further, they are not relevant except as a marketing/sales tool. If you are new-is pilot their "spread" is too wide and not reachable by you (yet!) If you have thousands of hours under your belt, those same numbers are too restrictive to represent that skill level, you could fly it indoors or underwater if you had to, for 4 minutes of a demo anyway!!!! The factory would not have offered the kite framed as you have it currently, except by special request and also at a subsequent/additional cost. You are riding top of the line framing right there. I'll give you my numbers, but bear in mind I run with magic sticks and a French bridle, not stock. The full sail I would use (alone) to 3mph short lines up to 12 mph on long lines, the mid-vent to a steady 18 mph with gusts occasionally over 20 and down to 5 mph on the low end the full sail I would use from 10 to 25 steady, gusting occasionally much higher. Your numbers are twenty percent less for a thousand hours or more, unless you have a dedicated coach assisting you personally from the first moment of assembly. You can learn and feel a whole lot of sensations in a long week(end?).

  2. Finally got a bit of wind suitable to fly in and one of my flying spots is available again (with social distancing) Pretty sure I met the requirement since I was alone.
