  1. Hi I am considering getting new kites but are not quite sure which it should be. Today I have a set of PKD's Century and is considering switching to Crosskite's Sonic or Libre's Z2 Are there any of you who know them or have tested the three against each other, such as: closest to the wind, stability, side pull? Rumle
  2. I think I'm about to catch it The actual tractive force is determined only by the kite size The line length gives a larger power zone = more room to maneuver and there for more time to gain momentum in the cart, but give a little bit slower turning Can you go closer into the wind when using longer lines? I prefer to drive in 5-8 m / sec = 18-29 kph which I usually use 18-20m. lines, but up to 10-12 m / sec = 36-43 kph is ok that I use 14-16 m lines I once tried to drive in 14 m / sec = 50.5 kph and that is not ok , I was pulled out of the car and one of drag lines broken when the wind is under 3m/sec = 10 kph, it's time for coffee break Hi BGKD My English is not so good that I understand all the words you are using, but you should not be afraid of the Danes to take over this forum, we are only 113 members of the Danish para cart clup, and at this year's Danish Championship, we are only 10 participant
  3. If I understand it correctly: a small kite with short lines = small drag but a bit faster in the turns,than with long lines a small kite with long lines = slightly better drag but slightly slower in the turns, than with short lines a greater kite with short lines = greater drag and a bit faster in the turns, than with long lines a greater kite with longer lines = slightly greater drag but slightly slower in the turns, than with short lines so if the wind drops, I should choose a bigger kite, with same lines, rather than install longer line at the kite i am using, to achieve the same speed without losing control properties After I wrote this, I better understand why I am a bit confused please tell me if I got it wrong Rumle by the way it's nice to get good and quick response, thanks
  4. Hi Wolfie I'm from the other side ... Denmark I hope it is ok that I write in this forum, because I have tried to find answers to my question in several forums and it seems that I have asked a question that only very few can / will answer that, actually only 2! persons who have answered if I understand your answer correctly, then it give more speed / drag if I run with longer lines than if I run with short lines. has it some effect on steering characteristics? Long lines = slow response / short lines = fast response? you write that I should not use the lines as kite comes along, why not? I just ordered a set of Century ll from PKD, supplied without lines, but I usually use "Climax Combat Speed​​" lines, the ones I've been recommended
  5. Hello I just began to drive buggy, and have a question about line length I have been told that instead of changing kite size it is possible to change the line length instead of Are there some one here who can explain to me is the team between line length and kite size Last time I was out and drive the wind dropped so much that some one chose longer lines and other chose bigger kites instead? What is best: Small kite with longer lines or bigger kite with shorter lines? and are there any significant differences Is there a general rule for line length? Rumle DK 105 Ps. I apologize for the wording but I have used Google translate
