First testflight of my new Kapfoil 5.0 (Bought at Kapshop) .
I was quite uncertain about the behaviour of the kite after reading the comments on the Kapforum.
Now, After my first testflight within a windrange of 15km/h upto 30km/h - 200 meter line out, I can confirm, that this kite is doing exactly what I was expecting of this kite (based on my positive previous experience with the smaller kapfoil version)... It has a nice strong (but not exorbitant) pull; For sure not more than my big holy man roks! It will rise high...but that is exactly what I am looking for. Strong enough to lift my RIGs with low winds.
So nothing else than positive feedback!!
