  1. Hi, Can anyone out there help? I need a flying location around Wolverhampton, preferably around Essington or Junction 1 / 2 of the M54. There's loads of fields out here but they are all crop fields and the farmers get a tad po-ed with me ripping along on my board. I usually fly by the Wobaston Road (opposite my work !) and Essignton Rugby club (opposite my house!). I could do with some bigger venues. Any suggestions or anyone want to meet up? I've seen a lot of locals from the spflyers - any suggestions guys? Cheers.
  2. Has anyone got any secret tips and tricks to inflating a Venom in low wind? I'm struggling to inflate in I'm: Placing the kite at 90 degrees to the wind Closing the upwind and deflate zips Pinning down the upwind pigtails Inflating from the downwind zip What else can I do (no, I'm not going to carry a portable hairdryer!) ? Any suggestions Thanks.
  3. I'd like to meet up to fly with you guys. When is the next planned meeting? How do I find you, I'll be coming down the M6 from Wolverhampton.
  4. OK, this one is subjective but I'll ask anyway. I need a control set for my new Venom 13m (first depower kite I've owned !), what would people recommend as the best bar to use. What's the difference between them? Which has the best safety and relaunch system if used? Help !!!
  5. OK guys, What's the best bar size for a 13m Venom. I believe it's 50cm but if go for a 60cm (one for sale on the forum) what do I sacrifice? I'll be using it inland in 8 - 18mph. I'm quite a small build. 62Kg ringing wet. Does this make any difference? Thanks.
  6. One small problem guys. FS are bl**dy expensive!!! I've got around £350(ish) to spend on a kite. That means a second hand venom or Frenzy (want a depower). That is unless someone is willing to give me a Psycho2 10m for £350 - any offers???
  7. Guys, I've flown a Frenzy 10m and it's the size I'm looking for - low end power etc, etc. If I went for a Venom, what's the equivelent size. Can't seem to find the projected area for a Frenzy but the Venom 10m has a 7m projected. Is the projected area going to have such a big effect or do Arcs not measure in the same way? Thanks.
  8. Hi, I've flown Frenzys and Sabres but never the inflatable twin skins e.g. Flysurfers and Peter Lynns (Phantom, Bomba, Venoms) I understand that the twin skins kites are slow in the turn? If so what's the comparison - a bit slower, half as slow again? I fly inland 95% of the time. Use a landboard (when my back is better). Was thinking of a twin skin incase I took up Kitesurfing but don't want to compramise too much inland performance. Help.
