steds Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 Hi all, Got myself a 15m GII last year and have flown it on about 6 different occasions (max wind about 22 mph). During that time I have got to know some of its little quirks (and some of its bigger ones too!!!). Thinking about it though, I don't really know a great deal about its potential and obviously other peoples' experiences ;- there don't seem to be any reviews for the 15m size!!! I read on one thread that whilst the lift and float is reasonable, it can be a grunty and vicious beast compared to other arcs such as the VII or Phanny. Anyone got any info./advice to help me with... Cheers to all for the new kiting year!!! Quote
andrewjohn Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Phanny and Venoms are later and have more depower. Quote
Chunkymonkey Posted January 3, 2009 Report Posted January 3, 2009 Fairly slow Twinskin, predictable grunt no nasty surprise's unless you decide on looping ... My kiddo has had some superb surfy sessions with our G2 15, but alas few & far apart, we found that the setting of the back lines to be critical to both lift and a smooth & gentle landing. nice kite, just a bit too slow but still fun. chris Quote
steds Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Posted January 4, 2009 will adjust back lines (think I needed to as she starts to drop down from autozenith when fully sheeted out!). thanks for info both anymore for anymore? Steds Quote
Taunton Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah I've got one, but probably couldn't add on your own points. Cheapest twinskins you can get but do what they say on the tin. Really pleased that I got my 2 (15 and 9) and although I keep my eyes peeled for a cheap Venom at times, I think for the amount that I get out, why worry that much :-) Quote
steds Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Posted January 6, 2009 Just a thought, do you Guerilla fliers tend to attach the brakes lines to the higher attachment point for more bar pressure or the lower one for less and which one gives more lift/float/better performance? thanks in advance....... ps who has nicked all the S.W./W winds??? Im sick of these weak easterlies - been a month now!!!! Quote
