What is a Power Stunt Kite? Power Stunt Kites (also known as soft sports kites) are steerable and offer the pilot complete control.  Power Stunt Kites are dual lined and frameless.  No sticks to break and no adjustment to make.  Cross ventilation and brilding allows for great edge handling and collapse resistant.  They are very maneuverable and go up, down, or loop.  Advanced power stunt kites offer even more spectacular performance abilities. What is a good beginner Power Stunt kite? Each of our power kite comes with skill level recommendations.  Beginner kites, like the Parastunter, are slower flying and easier to learn.  More speed but still easy to learn would suggest Speed Foil 1X.  These kites are easier to control and have nothing to break upon (crash) landings. Your first flight? Select a location that is free of obstructions (i.e: house, power lines, trees, etc).  Make sure wind condition are proper for your kite.  For your first flight, we strongly suggest picking a day when the wind is moderate- between 10 to 12 mph. Place the kite on the ground so that the bridle and kite are faced up.  It helps to have a friend hold onto the kite as you proceed.  Detach the tow points of the bridle from the trailing edge loops.  The bridle is shipped this way for tangle free storage and the loops can be used later for attaching tails.  Use the loops to re-attach the bridle when you are done flying to keep the bridle from tangling.  Attach the flying line to each of the bridles and walk backward to the wind, let out all of the line you will be flying with before launching.  Be sure that your line lengths are equal. When you reach the end of the lines usually around 100 feet, then tie it on your flight straps. Your right hand will control the line attached to the right bridle and the left hand will control the left bridle. Launch!   Pull back quickly and evenly with both lines.  Pull the right line towards you to make the kite go to the right and  likewise to the left.  Pull continuously on one line and the kite will go in a complete circle.  Hold your hands evenly to make the kite go forward. To land, fly the kite to your far right or left. The kite will start to descend.  To prevent any accidental relaunching, have a friend grab it when it is on the ground. My kite won't fly...what's wrong? The number one reason a dual lines kite won't get off the ground is that you have not let out all of your line prior to launching.  Be sure that your line lengths are equal.  Also, refer to your Pilot's Manual (enclosed with each kite) for proper launch techniques. My stunt kite is diving to the left (or right) and crashing. What's wrong? The line is not even from each handle to the bridle or the swivel clip has slipped off of the tow point. Dual lines vs. Quad Lines? Quad lines foil kites are more difficult to fly then the Dual lines kites but are giving more traction to the kite.  They are more senitive, interactive with the pilot and require extra attention to control.  It is good to have some dual lines kite experience before move up to quad lines kites. What wind condition to fly Power Stunt Kite have the most fun? Check with the weather channel before you go.  Anywhere starting at 13mph will give you a lot of pull.  And of course the bigger the kite, will also give you more pull as well.  Please keep it in mind: Do not under estimate wind power! Power kiting sport(s) can be very dangerous and cause even fatal accidents.  We don't recommend anyone flying any kite beyond their experience level.  Always check for appropriate wind levels before kiting.  Kitestogo IS NOT in any way responsible for any injury from your power kiting session.
