Good thinking but it's nothing to do with kite size, kite was not pulling, in fact I was holding it with one hand fully sheeted out, hardly any speed, and it still remained high, it has to be the wing angle, or/and the centre of effort may be a little to far forward, which I can easily move back if that needs adjusting as well,juandesooka wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2017 4:54 pmmaybe I am off base but if you are at max foil height and can't make it come down ... that sounds like you have too much kite for the conditions. If your new wings have more surface area and are lower aspect, maybe you need to drop a kite size?
Simply to replicate the 548, but a bomb proof one.

FYI Gong foil is on sale for 799. It’s a good foil. I wish I still had mine.
