West Australian Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 The Setting was my local field at Dawn. Zero wind. I gained a few meters of altitude on My Zero-G and just let go of the line. The result was this video: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Nice glide!! Did you adjust it at all? Next time, try holding on to the line and try steering it a bit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Australian Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Nice glide!! Did you adjust it at all? Next time, try holding on to the line and try steering it a bit!! I have played with the nose tension a few times to get a good glide dependant on conditions. I have steered it many times and usually do, Playing the line in and out. Usual SL Glider stuff I just wanted to see what would happen if I let it free glide. The line just draped under the Zero-G and collected on the ground. That was awesome. Thanks Dude.

West Australian Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 I just wanted to see what would happen if I let it free glide.The line just draped under the Zero-G and collected on the ground. My luck, it would land on top of a building, or up in a tree Not in the park I was in. It is too big for anything to glide that far. Besides I was keeping close to the line, just in case.... You need to get your Zero-G flying dude. It is a great kite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Australian Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Well, It is a good looking kite. But It needs to be flown. Something else that can be fun with the Zero-G is to use it as an unteathered Glider. It is fun to get great glides, throwing for distance, or to a friend. Also good practice for glide starts, when you do zero wind flying. If you ever have any questions about the Zero-G, let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystainedskin Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I was eye balling one of these when I bought my Wala,but I already had my mind made up before I went to the shop. Next visit will be a different story . Thanks for the topic and video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Australian Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 The Zero-G is a Sweet Kite. My Progression was Wala to Wala XL to Zero-G. The balance and glides of the Zero-G are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
