What sets the camber is the distance between the attachement points of red and the yellow lines.Red line closer to the bar = more camber = more grunt, more agility, less stability , less speed in medium wind, lower high end. I have set mine like the picture in the middle ; putting the yellow line at...

I have or had the 12m, then 15m, then 18m ; difference in pull is ...huge ! maybe it is a setting issue. I remember once where i struggled and failed to water start with the 12m, launching several loops and despite pumping ... then I launched the 18m and foiled the first trial without loops ... And ...

My Spirit v2 is made of 32 gr cloth (cause i will use it on snow); i put it on a 'human scale' and by difference i found 1.8 kg which is very nice for a 32 gr. You can ask for lighter cloth 27 gr as well if use is for marginal winds and low weight rider. But IMO 12m2 is too small to have fun and spe...

yes exactly , "Pulsion S" has a slightly higher Aspect ratio like the above blue in the video; "S" version exists in 8m, 12m and 16m, while standard version exists in 3.7, 6, 9, 12 , 15 and 18.
27 gr is the highest cloth for Ben's kite;
which kite is in 24 gr?

Where did you buy the kite from? Here is the email from the Sky Country agent : Eric Lespagney : sky.country.kites.fr@gmail.com Best is to contact him and the country and related conditions for the expedition. I Know that for France, the 12 m costs 900€ + 50€ shipment. + possible custom fees . The ...

my preference is currently the Pulsion 18 m , then Pulsion 15m, then Pulsion 12m (standard , not S for the marginal wind), in 27gr /m2.

Sky country Spirit V2 seems an excellent challenger but I need further test.

Here is this short test 10 days ago:

indeed vmg is deduced from speed by the cosinus of the angle... IMO it is easier to just look at above polar figure and look at which points leads to the lowest horizontal line ... this gives you directly the answer without estimating if you loose more or less than "6% @ 20 degree" vs "4% of a lower...

ok so we cannot ue the bar graph for our question since it is filtering positive vmg only , hence upwind, not downwind
