Anyone had any experience with an eclipse nano. flew one the other day and it wanted to fall out of the sky in high winds. you cannot seem to park the kite and ride. thanks.

Weird. i have no problem what so ever with that with my 7m nano.
Maybe something wrong with you barsetup?

It was really stable to be honest. It was not great in the gusts. but not really bad either.

How long is the throw on your bar? On the 2008, ~ 24 cm is sufficient. If you go too long, the kite will do what you've been experiencing. The problem I've had with my 4M/6M 2008 Nanos is they'd deform and the shoulders would collapse. That was remedied by pumping the kites up rock solid (18+psi/15+ psi respectively).
